Playing The Building

So...this event is awesome. For those of us who are into the whole alternative industrial sound, or for those just looking for something new and FREE to do, this is definitely an option. David Byrne's antique organ controls a series of devices attached to metal beams, plumbing, heating pipes, and electrical conduits throughout the building which work together to make an incredibly eerie, but awesome sounding orchestra. And best of all, you can play the organ yourself. This is the last weekend the program is running so be sure to check it out. Click here for more info.
