about

Buzz. Pick up the phone. Open an app. Read. Put it down. Buzz. Pick up the phone. Open an app. Did I read this? Open an app. Scroll. Scroll. Phone rings. Buzz. Click. “Hello?”

This sound collage, set to live drums, is constructed with sounds collected from a cell phone. Synth instruments built from samples of alert tones, vibrations and haptic feedback from a cellphone. Automated voices form the spoken poem, a surrealist commentary on repetitive phone interactions. Voice messages are stretched and broken into a new performance, questioning the original meaning of the words and form.

A surrealist commentary on phantom phone vibrations, signal detection theory, and the psychological relationship between a human and its magic buzzing box.

Created by Chris Bradbury for 60 Sec Radio 2023.
