On show at 'this way', Design Academy Eindhoven's exhibition at Milan Design Week 2011 is Akko Goldenbeld's musical device 'Stadsmuziek'. A scale model of the city of Eindhoven is transformed into the role of the recorder as each building, unique in size, shape and proximity to others, creates the musical score. Placed on a revolving wooden cylinder, the buildings set little hammers in motion that play the keys of the piano. By turning and turning, the city makes its voice heard - from loud to soft, long to short, high-pitched to low - translating the three-dimensional reality of the city into an aural experience.
