Tonus Pelegrinus?
Plastic cubes, attached to a light and a speaker, have been laid out on a full size orchestra stage outside the Royal Festival Hall on London's South Bank.
Sitting on a cube activates a musical note and as more people sit down, more of the score is revealed. . . .
"Central to the Philharmonia Orchestra's vision is exploiting new media to take music out to the widest possible audience, breaking down the barriers. . . ." (More)
All speculation about Brnox (that's "Brno Bronx" for yous not down wi th lingo) cheers aside, this could be, well, a sonically interesting reason to visit London.

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.
