I gave every train in New York an instrument

2 days ago

Subway trains are depicted as a continuous jazz combo, with each train representing an instrument, playing nonstop for over a century.
The soundscape varies: platforms are loud and chaotic, while the harmony shifts with time, such as held tones during rush hour and longer silences at night.
Each moment's composition is unique, never repeating, and responds to a listener's location by amplifying nearby trains and rearranging the piece around them.
