These Amazing Houses Double as Musical Instruments
New Orleans Airlift Everyone knows you can play the piano, but did you know you can play your house? These pop-up homes from artist collective New Orleans Airlift double as instruments: In one, stepping on different floorboards creates a deep, loud bass. Another house uses an elaborate pulley system to control a series of fans, all whistling at different frequencies. All together, the musical "shantytown" — called the Music Box Roving Village and located in New Orleans' City Park — provides enough extraordinary instruments to create an entire alternative orchestra.
The village is connected with wooden walkways and an overhead electrical system, bringing lights, sound, and a true city feel to the tiny makeshift town. Some weekends, New Orleans Airlift hosts musicians from all over the country who play the homes in concert — but other times, guests to the park can try their hand at playing the musical house.
