[video]: Kyla Kegler "Buffalo Grain Music"

I've always wondered what would happen if a sound artist made use of the giant, rotting grain elevators located just south of the city. This video here from Kyla Kegler offers a hint at the possibilities.

in this video you travel by bicycle through downtown buffalo, ny, through the deserted ruins and into the old abandoned grain elevators.

all of the sound in the video is live and natural to the environment. the music comes from the incredible acoustics in the grain funnels, and is only voice and sounds made by touching the sides of the funnel while sitting inside of it.

if you get bored at the beginning, skip to 15 minutes ahead, to see the music.
