Noise for Airports

Vibrations and how they get to your ears.

Noise for airports is a blog about culture, sound, music, and technology.

You can filter the posts to see just things I wrote or made.

Allora & Calzadilla’s Stop, Repair, Prepare is a performance piece in which a pianist tries to play a piano from a hole that has been cut in its center, while walking said piano around the gallery. The pedals have been turned backwards, and the middle keys just thud (the strings have been cut out for the hole). Those of you in New York can see the performances at the Gladstone Gallery on 24th Street from late January through February, thanks to a set of pianists who appear to be very dedicated to playing such a difficult set-up! update: oops, time travelers only, it was 2009 not 2010. (thanks ted)
