bare speakers of all shapes and sizes set upright on a large wooden table. Like a conductor at the head of an orchestra, visitors will create a sculptured music symphony with their movements and position in the space. Light sensors are inlaid into the edge
of the table and as viewers move around the room, their shadows will cause the various sound and instrumental tracks to fade up, overlap, mingle and fade down.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Whether the sound of an organ, violin, electric guitar, horn, tonal vocal track, or a cacophony of many musical compositions is heard, will depend on where the audience
walks and how many people are in the room. When the space is empty, the table fades to silence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
