How One Man's Bicycle Commute Inspired a Strange Song
Using a variety of electronics hooked up to his body, Brian House turned his daily bike route in New York into music.
The guy who made that musical bicycle really needs to meet Brian House, creator of the musical bike commute.
House has been biking from Brooklyn to midtown Manhattan for six years, a journey he treasures so much that he's arranged it into a song called "Forty Eight to Sixteen." It's not the kind of tune you would want to jam out to during such a 7.5-mile workout, mind you. Logging in at 35 minutes, the anxious-sounding piece features slashes of repetitive string notes and what sounds like Dennis Hopper breathing through a gas mask in the background.
