Among the many joys we experienced at Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything, the extraordinary exhibition at The Jewish Museum in New York City, is a room resonating with the sound of hundreds of people around the world humming Cohen’s anthem, Hallelujah.

I Heard There Was a Secret Chord is a participatory humming channel that takes the form of a physical room within the exhibit in which the humming can be experienced as sound and low-frequency vibration underfoot, AND a website through which visitors can listen.

 

Each person’s presence in the exhibit and online is transformed into a virtual choir of humming voices that participants can join to feel the collective resonance, an invisible vibration uniting people around the world currently listening to Leonard Cohen’s song.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.

 

Here it is as Cohen sang it…
