Performance Today

News flash: New (full size, not like the pic above) concert hall made from Legos in Denmark!

I cannot embed the thing I wish to embed (the audio file), and this makes me frustrated. However, it's still worth it. Make sure you have RealPlayer though.

Please, after you check on the Real thing, head to Performance Today and page down until you get to the "April 1 Special Feature." Listen to it. I beg of you.

My favorite part is where the violinist (I think) talks about turning the Legos so they're not all flat, so that the other bits of the Legos provide a bit better acoustic space.

Made. Of. Awesome.

I am so proud to know Rob Hubbard, the guy who wrote the piece (Fred Childs delivered it PERFECTLY as well). He's brilliant, and I met him at the not-as-schnobby-as-it-sounds NEA Institute in Classical Music and Opera. See, classical music people are hilarious!
