Black box

A lot of new apartments have been built in Hamburg's new district, the Hafenstadt (=Harbour City). It is a bit like Pyrmont in Sydney. Apartment dwellers will be able to walk to the new Philharmonie which is being built nearby. The 'black box' building with information about the Philharmonie(previous post) is quite ingenious. Outside there are a series of tubes jutting from the walls.
 
(Note the bike too ... it is the bike I bought off eBay.)
If you look down the tubes you see films of concerts.
 

Some of the tubes don't have picture in them, but instead sounds. There is piano ... or trumpet ... or violin.
