MuniMusic

San Francisco
in Concert

Beneath the fog, a city moves. Every Muni vehicle — bus, metro, cable car, streetcar — becomes an instrument in a generative lo-fi composition that has been playing without pause since 1912.

What is playing now has not played before and will not play again.

About MuniMusic

MuniMusic transforms San Francisco's Muni transit system into a generative lo-fi composition.

Every vehicle — bus, metro train, cable car, and historic streetcar — plays a note based on its position, route, and speed. The J-Church lays down warm Rhodes chords. The N-Judah plucks muted melodies. Cable cars on Powell add vinyl crackle. A soft beat ties it all together.
