The Drum Organ is an interactive installation combining art, sound, and lighting effects to create an immersive experience at the entrance of the world's largest music festival. Visitors can be part of the band at one of the four keyboard stations containing five illuminated, touch sensitive buttons. Each pad plays a musical sound from wind chimes to percussion tones that rotate stations every few minutes. The corresponding cluster of pipes within the sculpture change color to the beat, bringing the music to life before their eyes. Michelle's role on this project was Lead Lighting Designer with CLD-E.
