Sounds can be streamed to objects in the environment from elsewhere on the ‘Net. I’m not sure if this audio comprises a single stream or sound from a number of sources (or if the Lively client was functioning correctly, for that matter):

The Henry Moore Foundation

Here’s a selection of photos I took recently at the Henry Moore Foundation’s Perry Green site.

Yamaha PSS-560 Drum Samples
