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discrete signals in the midistream of the sequencer, and thus withdrawn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.
