David Byrne turns Factory into Instrument
"The Talking Heads founder has turned a disused paint factory by the Stockholm waterside into a giant musical instrument, constructed around an old wooden pump organ with its entrails ripped out and replaced with wires and pipes." [Billboard]
"On the morning of the day of the opening I arrive on Jan's borrowed bike in time to see maybe a hundred people drinking coffee in the café and waiting on the stairs for the doors to open at noon. 'How am I going to get a nice clean installation picture with all these people here?' I think to myself. I forget this as soon as I see people begin to play the thing. They're totally enraptured, entranced." [David Byrne]
