If you’re in New York City June 21 and want to make sweet music with a bunch of strangers, take your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and head for the New York Stock Exchange.

To participate, you’ll need to download a free app called GROUP. The app will tell each participant to sound a single note and when all the members converge in front of the NYSE, forming what is essentially an iSymphony.
The GROUP app was created by composer and musician Aaron Siegel plus software developer Larry Legend. Siegel told CBS New York that concept came from the desire to “activate spaces artistically” and “engage large groups of people to create music.”
What might turn out to be an experiment in collective cacophony is part of the 10th annual River to River Festival and Make Music New York.
It sounds cool. Or maybe annoying, if the video above is anything to go by. But if you participate, we’d love to see/hear the iPhone symphony in action.
