What is the sound of one hand clapping? We may never know. What does the Eiffel Tower sound like? Hah! There’s an answer to that one.

Never one to shy away from a compositional challenge, Joseph Bertolozzi undertook what became a twelve-year odyssey to sample and write music using only the sounds of the Eiffel Tower. Without the aid of supplemental instruments or effects, he worked with the raw surfaces of this architectural landmark.
