Four years ago Paul Berg started working on ‘An Crannog Ceoil’ (The Musical Island) a four meter diameter raft fixed to a disused pontoon. The project involves working with air displacement by water pressure (in this case using the natural flow and rise of Lough Derg, where the raft is located) to play sound pipes (deconstructed harmoniums, bamboo and timber). For his collaboration with the Eco Showboat, Paul plans to construct a range of low sounding, free floating pipes that can be played on the island and on the harbour wall where the raft will be moored.
