As a long time David Byrne admirer, I felt obligated to pass along this little gem I found on his website. His latest undertaking finds him routing the keys of an air organ to trigger motors and hammers staged around different pieces of an old NYC ferry terminal. When someone strikes the organ keys, it allows them to play the building.
You can visit the installation any weekend from now until August 24th. I imagine the power of the instrument doesn't translate entirely on recording as it must be pretty intense to feel the vibrating building in person.
