The signal is in the foreground of this sound performance. Audio
fragments from TV
and radio broadcasts, found footage von CCTV surveillance cameras,
traffic cams,
earth observation satellites, and ATM cash machine cameras are the
basis of this
work with logics of definable frequency and machine control. The
sequence of these
videos and the rhythm of their cuts from one scene to the next are
triggered by
discrete signals in the midistream of the sequencer, and thus withdrawn
for the
most part from human control. The signal becomes imaged reality.
