NEW YORK - Ex-Talking Heads frontman David Byrne plans to turn a landmark building in Manhattan into a giant musical instrument.State officials say Byrne will create a temporary installation in the Great Hall of the Battery Maritime Building, which is next to the Whitehall Ferry Terminal.
The “Playing the Building” installation will include devices attached to ceiling beams, plumbing, electrical conduits and other parts of the structure. Sound will be produced through vibration, making the building function as an instrument.
It’s set to open in late May.
More buildings about songs? Where's the food?
Nicely done, sir.
My question is, is it on fire?
Yeah, like I needed a reason to go to New York! I'm getting my airline ticket today. Anyone wanna join me? New York, David Byrne, Gin, Music oh and an historic building in New York that's also an instrument. Let's see, what's missing?
