The story

A historical landmark spot in Koreatown, open around the clock. Insider tip: Look for the green metal bars on both N/R train platforms; the installation is easy to miss as it blends in with station infrastructure. Known for its motion-activated musical sounds from marimba.

REACH is a public sound installation in the 34th Street subway station, operating since the mid-1990s. Passersby who wave a hand through one of eight light beams trigger sounds that range from marimba and flute to recordings of natural environments. The piece spans both platforms, and riders frequently make music together across the tracks.
