Time Out says

The musician and artist David Byrne transforms The Roundhouse into a giant musical instrument to be played by visitors. At the centre of the installation is a pump organ which is attached to the building's structure by a series of cables and wires to make it vibrate, resonate and oscillate.

Industrial music, playing buildings, would've been nice to see a token acknowledgement of Einsturzende Neubauten's ground-breaking contribution to the genre some 20 odd years ago and continuing with their brilliant show at the Palast de Republic, Berlin in November 2004 when they too "played" the building.
