Bodies with Organs: A Treatise to Playing The Building
In conjunction with Creative Time, Playing the Building is a project by David Byrne in which he turns a 9,000 sq. ft abandoned room in the Battery Maritime Building into an instrument. Through the use of an antique pump organ, controlled devices create sounds with only what is afforded by the building's infrastructure, including heating pipes, metal beams and pillars.Challenging the project, curator Mark Beasley invited accomplished musicians to perform an improvisational piece with the building. The result is a captivating and unique musical experience.
