Music and architecture both take as their starting point Erik Satie's 'Vexations' ? a looping, repetitive piano work that lasts around 18 hours in continuous performance.Â

This is to our knowledge the first architecture/sound collaboration of this type since Le Corbusier/Xenakis/Varèse's Philips Pavilion of 1958. (In that it was envisaged as an integrated design collaboration, with the music and architecture symbiotic and made in parallel, rather than the sound added later as an installation in an existing building).
