On last februari 18th, the Mayor of Amsterdam, Eberhard van der Laan, officialy opened the SonOrb sound-installation for use in the Klankspeeltuin in Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ. The Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ did a good job of promoting the SonOrb. Along with the opening and inviting the mayor, there was also quite some media attention for the event. With, among others, a proper article in the NRC Handelsblad newspaper.

Alongside the SonOrb also new software for the ‘Cybercorner’ (the computers in the Klankspeeltuin) was presented: Senna, developed by Eboman.

Here is the post the Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ made about the event (in Dutch).
