Sitting in apo33's workshop, we manipulate electronic devices, we build microphones and make a loudspeaker out of a metal sheet adding a new sound device to the various sound conveying devices in the room. The speaker network is connected to the server, receiving sound transmitted from a private flat, at the other side of town. We hear the sounds coming from that distant environment, transformed by a series of analogical and digital processes and diffused into our workspace. Abruptly, the phone starts ringing, but ringing oddly: producing a melody of frequencies, extended over time. We listen and realize: the phone is ringing in the distant flat, not in the workshop. We reproduce the experiment and phone again, leaving a few messages on the flat’s answering machine; at the same time, we can hear the sounds that become a refrain and invade our space, creating a loop within the city, using the telephone and digital network to transform reality. | Sitting in apo33's workshop, we manipulate electronic devices, we build microphones and make a loudspeaker out of a metal sheet adding a new sound device to the various sound conveying devices in the room.
