"Through a composition of different vectors of radiophonic transmission, sounds will collide and resonate deploying themselves in the vertiginous brutalist architecture of the CND and its irregular spaces, playing radio waves in a form of an hertzian acousmonium troubled by the concrete structures. All frequencies will cross the static fields of reclusive ghosts confined in the corners of the asymmetrical staircase of the Atrium, eluding the complex tridimensional surfaces of the building. Long ago an administrative center, the echoes of footsteps going down the staircase, rumbles of frustrated voices and the fatal falls are still resonating; the sliding of the children concrete skaters following their deceived or received parents down the way are still there. The use of radio transmissions will invoke all these memories, inviting them to resurge."
