David Byrne - Madman or Genius?

[SHAUN I]

I've always been a big fan of David Byrne, i'm not so sure what to make of his latest project though. Turning buildings into instruments that can be played, mmm..insane or pure genius? Fruitcake or fantastic? I've not quite decided yet. :conehead: :biggrin:

That's borderline insane, so naturally it's pure genius. :biggrin:

I remember an interview with Bernard Szajner (inventer of the laser harp) where he was talking about musical planets - planets creating music by their movement - I got lost at that point. Read more about him at http://www.thesmith.org.uk/music/mentors/szajner.html
among other places.
