Nathalie Miebach is a sculptor who makes “sculptural musical scores” based on weather data. If that sounds confusing, imagine how you might play the sculpture pictured above. Apparently the process goes: gather weather data, make into score that looks like this, and then make either a sculpture or music from it. She’s got a lot of pictures of her sculptures on her website.
(I like how “data” is in her list of media for the sculptures.)
If high frequencies are good for keeping away unruly teenagers, then low frequencies are good for keeping away hail storms. (Maybe.)
In the video, you can hear a hail cannon in action. (I kind of wish that link was a game based on hail cannons, not just a flash animation.)
See more pictures from a hail cannon supplier here.
