American artist Doug Aitken installed a ranch-style house clad in mirrors in the snow-covered mountains of Gstaad, Switzerland.
Now, performed by six vocalists from the Los Angeles Master Chorale, Song Mirror is a new composition written by Doug Aitken and brought to life inside the Mirage Gstaad—the latest in a series of enigmatic mirrored buildings which he also installed in the desert near Palm Springs.

The single-storey Mirage structure, so called because it reflects the surrounding landscape and disappears into it, is covered top-to-bottom in mirrors.
“Members of the chorale group sing abstracted and hypnotic phrases”
The structure will remain in its mountain location for two years "reflecting and interacting with the mountain landscape over the changing seasons".
