David Byrne’s architecture organ. “The organ’s innards had been replaced with relays and wires and light blue air hoses. And when the key was pressed, a 110-volt motor strapped to a girder high up in the room’s ceiling began to vibrate, essentially playing the girder and producing a deafening low hum — like one of the tuba tones played by the mother ship in ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind.’ Or, if you were less charitably inclined, like a truck on Canal Street with a loose muffler.”
