How Musical Swings Works:

Each swing triggers notes from a classical instrument: piano, guitar, harp, and vibraphone. Try different seats to “play” different instruments.
The interactive soundtrack is inspired by the pendulum. The higher the swing, the higher the note.
When the swings move together in unison, they create a musical composition through which unique melodies can emerge if participants cooperate.
