Every Time I Go Out,

like everyone else I end up queueing,

there are always long queues at the bank, post office and building society's, I guess it is the new norm, but here is a light hearted look at queues, the keep 2 meter apart stickers on the pavement in this installation have been replaced by notes in a musical score,

this mural of musical keys recently appeared along the floor leading into the Minato Mirai Hall, a music venue in Yokohama. Titled “Social Harmony” and created by Eisuke Tachikawa, the mural is part social distancing sticker and part interactive musical art installation,

when visitors to the venue line up, the notes act as a social distancing sticker, ensuring that appropriate distance is maintained between guests. But when the notes are stepped on, a sensor is activated and the actual sound of the note is emitted. Together, the notes play French composer and pianist Erik Satie’s Gymnopédie, 

if you are not familiar with the piece, this is it above, the installation creates an exciting anticipation leading up to the venue, but also helps guests stay safe, it will be installed at the venue through the end of 2020, to hear the tune make sure you go on a quiet day and nobody else is socially distancing!
