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 this month 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.
