The concept entailed utilizing the infrastructure of these buildings and spaces as resonating bodies to create sounds. Different methods are used to produce the sounds, including hitting columns with metal rods, strapping vibrating motors to girders, and blowing air through pipes.[3] The sounds often resemble musical instruments, including organs and flutes. Byrne described the installation as "a very democratic instrument: Everyone is reduced to the same amateur level".[4]
