Sound Tunnel - John Morton’s Central Park Portrait - NYTimes.com
From Randy Kennedy’s New York Times review of John Morton’s Central Park Sound Tunnel piece:
For the last month — thanks to Mr. Morton, six high-end speakers, a computer and a generous helping of musical avant-garde smuggled into the city’s populist playground — the tunnel itself has found a voice: a strange, urgent one that screams, whispers, sings, declaims poetry and recreates the multifarious sounds of the park around it, from jackhammers and horses’ hooves to cracking winter ice.
Also in the article, Kennedy acknowledges Morton’s Cage-like style and a hotel room-service worker reflects on the piece. I would love to see & hear other reactions of people hearing it for the first time.
