Realising the potential for the air raid siren to interpret the complete musical scale, Franz was hooked. This was the start of a long, rich, artistic journey: an amazing experience filled with surprising encounters.<\/p>\n<p>It has culminated in the creation of the world&#8217;s only Siren Orchestra, made up of seven musical Sirens: a piccolo, two sopranos, two altos, a tenor and a bass. The orchestra is conducted by robotics: 71 control systems piloted by 105 control loops, to allow the sirens to interpret the musical score.<\/p>\n<p><b>HOW A STANDARD AIR RAID SIREN WORKS<br \/><\/b> The siren produces sound by sucking in air (solid arrows) as it rotates which is then fragmented to create a sound wave. The air is then forced through the horns (dotted arrows).<br \/>The faster the rotation, the higher and louder the sound.<\/p>\n<p><b>HOW THE MUSICAL SIREN WORKS<br \/><\/b> In order to make the siren sing, there are three principles involved:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>precise control of the turbine rotation speed allows the Siren to produce every note in the musical scale.<\/li>\n<li>depriving the Siren of the air it needs to produce sound gives attack, expression and subtlety<\/li>\n<li>muting the horns modifies the volume of the sound produced, allowing closer proximity to the public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Precise and highly responsive technology regulates turbine speed and controls airflow, keeping the Siren in tune and giving the sound tone and colour<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5ff820 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"a5ff820\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;vimeo&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<iframe class=\"elementor-video-iframe\" allowfullscreen allow=\"clipboard-write\" title=\"vimeo Video Player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/135737512?color&amp;autopause=0&amp;loop=0&amp;muted=0&amp;title=1&amp;portrait=1&amp;byline=1#t=\"><\/iframe>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0723097 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"0723097\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/226149346&amp;color=ff5500\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/mecanique-vivante\" title=\"M\u00e9canique Vivante\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">M\u00e9canique Vivante<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/mecanique-vivante\/no-agreement\" title=\"No agreement\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">No agreement<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Musical Siren A brand new musical instrument The adventure started over thirty years ago when an air raid siren fell into the hands of Franz Clochard.
