David Byrne has just brought his latest installation 'Playing the building' to London's Roundhouse. Connecting a small organ to various parts of the building's structure via a series of pumps and automated devices, Byrne manages to turn the whole building into a musical instrument. The results may not be as catchy as some of his Talking Heads hits, but it's nice to see someone making music with girders for a change.
Below is a Wired video with Byrne explaining the original NYC installation, and click here to check out the full article on Creative Review.
Playing the Building is on show at the Roundhouse until 31st August.
