The In South Lake Union Blog is awesome! Their article taking an indepth look at Blanche, a new art installation in the not-yet-open Lake Union Park makes me excited to get out there and take a look at it!

The author writes, "The experience of taking in Blanche, however, is not limited to the movement of the water and the simple beauty of a hull. This installation also includes a sound feature that the artists refer to as "wave music" and is projected into the hull of the boat by underwater sound chambers made of pipes. Upon putting your ear up to the wave music speaker, you will be greeted with background noise reminiscent of didjeridu music punctuated by intermittent metallic lapping sounds. It's actually quite pleasant."
