Oor van Noach
Robert Lambermont
2010
A little wooden boat glides along the river current like the needle of a record player.
On a map, the Dommel river in Pelt looks like a tiny squiggle, but up close lies a secret world. This restless river is packed with splashing waves, rolling stones, and hungry fish.
With Oor van Noach (Noah’s Ear), you can finally hear the river speak. This wooden boat acts like a record player needle, tracking the currents. A waterwheel transforms the river’s power into music. Listen through the giant trumpet on the bank to hear knocking wood, ticking steel, and splashing water. Come and open your ears.
