REVIEW:
“Some say music is where you find it. In fact, music is where
it finds you.” This site gives adults as well as children
the opportunity to compose, mix, and play with music in engaging,
interactive ways. Visitors to the site can learn how opera singers
can carry notes that seem to last forever, why some songs stick
in your head, why you only hear the bass from the neighbor’s
stereo and not the treble, and more. The exhibits allow users to
compose music in a virtual kitchen, mix sounds and styles, join
a live drum circle, and discover the origins of instruments. If
that isn’t enough, the movies include a demonstration of stepping
with the option of re-mixing the steps, an afternoon with Peter
Whitehead and tuning with the San Francisco Youth Orchestra. |
