The best example of this was a very tall office building with offices only around the perimeter. Leaving the entire center of the building hollow from top to bottom. So a clever artist made use of that space by putting a Grand piano dead center on the bottom floor, then ran wires from the piano's internal wires all the way up and out in all directions to the top of the bottom. And when the wind got to a certain speed outside, the building would sway. Causing it to "play" the piano. And it played the most beautiful, haunting, ambient sounds ever. People would come to the building and just line up around the railing on all floors to hear that building and the wind make music. It was the coolest art installation I've ever heard of, and I would love to visit it myself, but I can't remember where the building was located. If you know, please respond. Thanks.
