Douglas Repetto's piece Puff Bang Reverb at the opening of "silence" at Gigantic Art Space in NYC. When you blow on the "puff" sign it triggers a device which pushes on the blocks ("bang") which then gently oscillate ("reverb"). It's a lot of blocks! Suspended by strings. Installation with found sound. Piece by Pierre Huyghe.  It isn't the score to 4'33' since that would be a lot more empty! Installation by Douglas Henderson.  Four speakers play different tones creating standing waves in water.
