An array of radio scanners is paired with a set of analog synthesizer modules, and assembled on a set of small, modest folding tables. The scanners pick up a wide variety of speech, encoded data streams, and noise that are converted into (more) synthetic sound. The results of these electroacousticinteractions are projected into the air, and the sounds heard are physically modified by the shape and volume of the installation's site."
