Well before Talking Heads officially disbanded in 1991, Mr. Byrne had begun a busy solo career that has encompassed song albums, soundtrack scores, films and artworks like his current installation, “Playing the Building.” It uses an old pump organ to trigger clanks, hoots and scrapes from the structure of the decrepit Battery Maritime Building in Lower Manhattan, where it runs through Aug. 24. Mr. Byrne also has another album being released this month: “Big Love: Hymnal” (Todomundo/HBO/Playtone), of his instrumental music for the HBO series about Mormon polygamists. And he is completing an opera about Imelda Marcos with Fatboy Slim and 22 guest vocalists.
