Swoon - Musical Architecture for New Orleans(Kickstarter)

Artist Swoon needs your help to build to build “Dithyrambalina,”  a permanent interactive structure in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. With the appearance of an “ordinary” house the structure will function like a musical instrument with a group of local and national sound artists working towards interactive instruments that can be built into its walls and floorboards so that guests can bring the house to life through their touch. The long term goal is to invite musicians to play the house, performing orchestrated works at block parties for their friends and neighbors. This project is for the love of New Orleans – its architecture, music, culture and its people.” If you are interested in supporting this endeavor watch the video and go here (there are incentives).
