Audio description: Audio consists of phonemes and syllables collected from trans oral history interviews that are either sliced and sutured back together or re-synthesized into newly constructed versions of themselves. Full-range speaker drivers mimic the sound of plastic impacts, circling the arrangement and taking on a metallic timbre until returning again to the clunk of hollow, non-resonant material.
