For the recordings 1 and 2, 24 contact mics were placed on the roof, on the walls, between the bricks, and under the ground of the ancient tower "ospedale dei battuti" in San Vito al Tagliamento (pn), Italy.
The 24 mics were plugged into a pa system which made tower became a big mic. The tower/mic's sonic identity and sound relation with the environment was then affected by manipulating the volume faders and several analog filters connected to the pa. This piece has been commissioned by the contemporary Art Festival Hic et Nunc in 2005.
