Seeking to redefined and reimagined the ancient technology as communication devices that transcend space and time, by looking at their sonorous qualities and questioning their mythologised identity and how they sit in relation to modernity and industry in the landscape. looking into early Technospheres and how communicate with modern human infastructure.

Communication attempts have been created using Telephone pic up mics that capture electro-magnetic waves, contact mics that capture the natural vibrations mixed with Feil recordings of the sites. Testsounds contact mic on cupped stone + EMW recording
+ Contact Mic on throat.
