- We can observe the
bustle of social dynamics in the unintentional
noises generated by individuals. In the cars
driving on freeways, in the electricity flowing
through cables, in radio signals, in movements
involving street protests, which produce acoustic
vibrations, and which, in turn, generate sound
waves. In their totality such sound waves
represent the sound of social dynamics.
Using field recordings from a wide range of
sources, the Sozio-Phonon project combines
specific acoustic events in a global relationship
to one another. The compositions unite a number
of distant places in a single “here and now,”
where the individual acoustic social particles
can no longer be pinned down according to
location.
A phonon is a quasiparticle used in theoretical
solid-state physics to describe quantum
mechanically the characteristics of acoustic
vibrations in crystal. Phonons are delocalized,
i.e. a phonon exists in the overall crystal
lattice and keeps from being assigned to a
specific location.

the valley into the city.
