The source material are interviews of Brussels residents from the BBOT/BNA archives. The recordings are edited in such a way as to leave everything but the words. This is then resampled. The wordless interviews are mixed binaurally for the headphones, while the rest of the musical material comprising of resonances, pulses and noise are mixed in the space, so that there is a play between internal and external sound sources. The form of the piece also takes the shape of a wordless narrative telling a story in sounds that are based on the original interviews.
