In January this year, musician Akshay Sarin etched his name in history by combining the realms of technology, music and art. With ‘Sonokinesis’, Sarin had transformed one of the world`s largest passenger cruise ships, Royal Caribbean Cruises` Spectrum of The Seas, into a playable music installation. How did he orchestrate this mega instrument, we ask?

In a conversation with Midday, he says: “I was tracing rhythmic patterns on the table when a thought struck me: How would it be to combine musical notes that flow while tapping the surface of everyday objects?”
