Saturday was nice, Becky and I met up at 10 South St. to see David Byrne's latest art piece. As you can see below an organ has all of these tubes and lines attached to it and when you play the building groans, clangs, and whirls.
We had to sign a waiver before entering, I think because the building is so old. There were fears when I looked above with my gawking mouth that lead filled paint chips might fall in. Luckily that did not occur. The building is amazing, and old which really lends itself to the eeriness of the sounds.
This is a radiator that one of the tubes attached to making a clanking noise.

ok. i'm really glad that you noticed that byrne was around. i saw him on the today show posing with bloomberg and armstrong for the 'closed down' streets in new york city. and i totally thought of you. i was hoping that you would run into him on 5th ave.
so this post is a treat. love it.
yes, the today show is my main source of info... sad.
This kind of reminds me of an installation I saw at the Tate Modern last year, only because the slides made a sound as people slid down them that I imagine to be similar to that of David Byrne's organ.
Also, I love the Today Show. So does Samson--he thinks Matt Lauer's the bomb.
There is nothing wrong with the Today show, especially when they do a story about the Naked Cowboy.
