Laurie Anderson, installation view of Handphone Table, a sound installation working through bone conduction, MOMA, 1978.

From the press release:

…Handphone Table consists of a simple five-foot-long wooden table with a concealed sound system heard only by becoming actively involved in the work… The viewer hears Handphone Table only while seated, elbows making contact with particular points of the table top and hands covering the ears. The viewer’s arms serve as conductors for the otherwise inaudible sound, which consists of vocal tones at one end of the table and instrumental music on the other.

"re_COMPOSED re_ALITY" : a live shared and in situ re_COMPOSITION of the soundscape by Espaces Sonores.

re_COMPOSED re_ALITY offers a group of walking listeners to explore a synthesis between a ‘pure’ form of listening to the environment and a heightened listening experience (using different kind of headphones). At the frontier of field-recording, electro-acoustic, and soundwalk, this performance re-composes live the soundscape. During this walk, a re_CORDIST, and a re_COMPOSER will accompany the listeners, subtly suggesting through their performances ways and directions of listening. They bring us into more direct and more intimate contact with sound-filled objects, and, step by step, they evolve a sound-scape from sonic patterns to be shared with the listeners. From this communal experience a sonic landscape takes form, where previously we heard only noise…

The Audium-Theatre of Sound-Sculptured Space consists of a foyer, main performance space, and what the owners call a sound labyrinth. It's a building inside of a building, conceived and built specifically for this art form with the help of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Listeners sit in concentric circles in the theater and enveloped by speakers built inside of sloping walls, a floating floor, and a suspended ceiling. Compositions are performed live each Friday and Saturday night by a conductor who directs the sounds through a custom-designed console. The conductor uses any combination of the 169 speakers, sculpting the sound through direction, speed, movement, and intensity.

"When the concept of Audium began taking shape in the late 1950s," the venue's official website explains of the theater's founding, "space was a largely unexplored dimension in music composition. The composer who suspected space capable of revealing a new musical vocabulary found his pursuit blocked by the inadequacy of audio technology and performance spaces."
