K Play comprises a large multi-layered harp-like string instrument that triggers sounds through touch, movement and close proximity using a range of sensors, sculptured objects and custombuilt technologies. The strings themselves can be played/manipulated from inside the shopfront windows at 18 Angus Ave and when struck or otherwise triggered will play back a combination of musical instrument samples and location sound recordings taken in and around Kandos.
