Musical Role for NY Building
|
May 13,2008 - Former Talking Heads singer David Byrne is going to turn a New York building into a giant musical instrument. The performer will transform the Great Hall of the Battery Maritime Building by connecting devices to beams, pipes and other structural features.
At the heart of the "instrument" will be an antique organ which will control vibrations used to make the sounds. Visitors will be able to create sounds throughout the building by playing the centrepiece organ. A number of guest musicians will also be be invited to "challenge" the installation through a series of performances.
Playing the Building will be in place from May 31st to August 10th.
