David Byrne To Turn The Roundhouse Into A Musical Instrument

David Byrne has announced plans to turn London's Roundhouse into a huge musical instrument this summer.

The Talking Heads legend will host 'Playing The Building' at the London venue from 8-31 August.

Fans will be able to play an old keyboard that will be connected to electric motors and flute pipes situated around the Roundhouse.

Other devices will be connected to pillars, heating pipes and metal beams.

Speaking about the project, Byrne said: "That venue is just perfect, they'll just strip everything out and open the windows along the top," he said.

"It's beautiful when the lights stream in, it's the perfect place.”

Byrne has previously hosted the event in New York.
