is a 4 channel sound installation. the listener is the director of the sound. with an interface based in the middle of the room you can choose between 8 sound textures/pieces and arrange them. in case nobody is composing - playing - searching the computer will change from user play mode into random play mode. questions of this work are: soundarchitecture, soundfusion, eternity of sound.

structure
sound material
every single piece takes about 90 seconds. It is more like a character or texture of sound, not a composition with a start and an end. it includes natural and synthetic sound material. all together there is about 12 minutes of soundmaterial and a lot of possibilities to arrange it.
