New York City subway as a stringed musical instrument


Conductor: www.mta.me from Alexander Chen on Vimeo.
MTA.me is an interactive site that acts as a musical instrument based on actual New York City subway transit data. Each train’s route becomes a string that is plucked as another train crosses it’s path. You can also play along by plucking the strings yourself.
