 On a recent morning at Children's Hospital in Boston,the main lobby sounded like a fantastic musical experiment in a tropical rain forest. That was because the hospital just installed "Soundstair", designed by local artist Christo?pher Janney.

  When people walk up and down the stairs,they step on a series of sensors which make natural sounds. For example,climbing the stairs,the person might hear sounds from a bamboo flute and birds. Another individual using the stairs an hour later might hear an entirely different set of sounds.

  "The basic idea is about animating space and sound," Janney said. Sound-stair is Janney's effort to get the public to interact with the spaces around them by transforming those spaces into jazz instruments.

  Soundstair is brand new to Children's Hospital,but it's been in the Mu?seum of Science for several years. Janney is trained as a jazz musician and ar?chitect and his art reflects both of those disciplines. He has installed the same technology from Soundstair on a New York subway platform. " So you have a musical experience on your way to work," he said. "This is an urban musical instrument which allows people to creatively play in their everyday life.” While doctors,nurses and other adults went up and down the stairs ap?parently unaware of the instrument,10-year-old Carolyn Foppiano,who was visiting the hospital with her parents and two younger brothers,couldn't resist it. "It's sort of like magic," Carolyn said,as she danced up and down the steps. Carolyn also plays the recorder (竖笛) ."But this is easier！" she said.

  As he watched Carolyn and her brothers on his Soundstair,Janney smiled with pride. "It is hard for us adults to become young again,but it may take the young seconds to feel happy. If Soundstair can just do that,then it is meaning?ful and helpful," he said.
