Musical fountains
The sequence of the jets is synchronised to the sound of a piece of music.
Introduction
Musical fountains are fountains whose programming and sequencing of jets and water effects is synchronised to the sound of a piece of music.
Each show is programmed individually for each piece. The alignment of water, light and sound is built theme by theme, without a programme that serves every piece.
What sets them apart
An infinity of combinations of jets and light is created. Sometimes images and laser are added. The show changes with each piece of music.
The jets rise, cut and change form in the time of the sound. The light enters the same programme.
They are points of attraction for public spaces. At a given hour of the day, people gather to watch the show. During the music, the fountain ceases to be only a piece of the square and becomes a stage.
