Playing the Building; an installation by David Byrne. Sat 8 - Mon 31 August

Imagine an old pump organ, set at the heart of the Roundhouse,
with a series of low-tech cables and wires attached to the building's
pillars, pipes and beams. Then imagine the ping, rattle and blow as
they vibrate and resonate in response to the organ keys, and the
building itself becomes a giant musical instrument. Playing the Building,
David Byrne's interactive sound installation, drew crowds to New
York's Battery Maritime Building last year. This August sees the UK
premiere of his vision of 'Victorian steam-punk technology' at the
160-year-old Roundhouse.
The shutters will be off the windows of the domed roof, revealing
the building in a new light — the perfect setting for visitors of all
ages to explore the Victorian architecture and have the chance
to 'play the building'. Bring your instrument to JamAlongs on
Thursdays 13, 20, 27 and take part in a unique musical experience.
