A yearlong celebration of the 100th anniversary of Sather Tower, often called "The Campanile," on its 100th anniversary, kicked off with “Natural Frequencies," three 10-minute performances. The show was a combination of light and music on the Campanile’s west and north facing exterior walls, and the sounds of synthetic bells playing alongside live carillon music in the tower, all activated by live data from a seismometer inside the nearby Hayward Fault. University Carillonist Jeff Davis, along with carillonist Tiffany Ng, played the bells in the tower. The event was a joint effort between the UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies, the Department of Music and the Berkeley Center for New Media. Meyer Sound handled the audio and lighting. The concept was the work of professors Ken Goldberg, Ed Campion and Greg Niemeyer, along with Perrin Meyer of Meyer Sound in West Berkeley.
