PREVIEW: Composer Plays the Eiffel Tower

from PREVIEWS · host The World

A composer recorded sounds of a bridge in New York City, hundreds of metal cables, bolts and girders. Those sounds became the notes for this composition. Now he's using the same technique on a structure in Paris. CLIP: Believe it or not, we're getting things that sound like tympani, things that sound like marimbas, but we're just playing on metal. Playing the Eiffel Tower, next time on The World.
