1979 - Five Russians ( A Tuned Room) by Max Neuhaus.

Treating the body of air in a resonant room as a vibratable block of material, activating several of its natural modes of movement -- two high, two low -- making it sound.


The low pitches combine differently in different parts of the room. The mixture of highs changes as you change the position of your head. It takes a minute for your ears to focus and hear the differences. The chairs may be moved around.
