LCD Soundsytem James Murphy has discussed and demonstrated his popular idea to make the turnstiles in New York's subway play music. It's pretty cool - check in out below.
In a video for the Wall Street Journal, Murphy discussed his love of his hometown and demonstrated his proposal to have the turnstiles playing different musical notes.
"It's kind of a tough city and a very expensive city, but the subway is kind of egalitarian," he said. "I have a love affair with [the subway] - it's kind of the best of New York City."
He continued: "I've been noticing that the subway feels quite brutal, it's missing an opportunity at the turnstile. At the moment, there's kind of this unpleasant beep. Given that all of that information is already in the turnstile, why don't we just make it a nice sound? Just make it pleasant.
"It's an opportunity for music - why not make the worst times on subways the best times?"
