An orchestra of wireless robotic darbuka drums is mounted along both sides of the linear path to the sea. They are accompanied by flexible photovoltaics and special marine wind turbines, which provide it with renewable energy. Members of the public were able to play the drums via an intuitive iPad interface, composing a musical landscape. Children were naturally the first to understand and play the axial spatial instrument, explaining it to their parents. It is a landscape as an interaction which represents also the performative aspects of the infrastructure which powers it.
