REAL AUDIO EXCERPT

REPORT >>

A MIC
Belgrade post-war urban noises are picked up by an open on line microphone and streamed live. The microphone is positioned in very rudimentary coordinates, collecting everyday, around-the-clock artifacts of life. In parallel, an automative sound software in Linz plays an endless random composition created from samples recorded during the war time in Belgrade, including bomb blasts, sonic booms of jets breaking the sound barrier, emergency sirens, anti-aircraft fire, missile hits and misses.
The two streams are mixed into a third; a virtual sound socio-environment which bounces between two extremes. A fragile balance between war and normality comes to the surface of the subtle overlapping.
