I'm looking for an interactive experimental website that I came across years ago that allowed you to send sound clips to be played live in a empty water tower.
I experimented with this site years ago, maybe 2001? It was really an amazing idea to play sound clips and have them resonate and echo live in some water tower somewhere. You could play other peoples sound clips also. I think it was Canadian, or French, I can't remember much more than that.
I'm not sure if this is even aound anymore, but I would think that if anyone would know about this site it would be all of you, or that you could point me towards something equally as interesting.

Response by poster: Thats it! Thanks for the quick answer chrismear!
It's kinda dissapointing though. It seemed a lot more interesting in 2001. I wonder if I can ask for more interactive experimental sites?

(you should mark that as the right answer...)
Silophone became a lot less interesting as impulse response/convolution reverbs became accessible to the consumer masses. You may want to get a decent IR/Conv reverb like Logic's Space Designer, Waves IR1, Altiverb and check out Virtuasonic's Synaesthesia, a collection of "experimental" impulse responses. There's some very cool stuff in there.
Alternatively, you could have a lot of fun recording some IRs yourself. I recommend this approach, since it always yields some surprising results.

here's another one I found a while back - I could never get silophone to work properly.
