Over the course of this website’s creation I often peeked into Room 65 and recorded the beautiful sounds that permeated the air through the walls.

Here is a clip from a Violin and Piano duo.

Name
Finally, this website looks at how a neglected space can gain relevance and be used to its full potential if it is given a creative and identifying name. Room 65 reveals the impact that a forgettable or unforgettable name can have on an amazing space that seems lost in a larger context.
