But Christopher Janney, whose project "Soundstair" creates nothing but confusion at MIT, has also been unleashed in the station. Although Janney insists his intricate sound system presented only as a drawing will be coordinated with Shingu's chimes, his "sonic gates, soundstairs and sound central" all emit noises as one moves through the station.
