Two steelbows, that were found in an abandonned house and hung up in a room, are constantly absorbing the noises and sounds of the building, its inhabitants and its machines. Their silent vibrations are recorded with piezo-microphones and the recordings are played back again into the steel through transition speakers.

A programm controls a constant record-playback process, in which the individual sound of each bow becomes hearable. Two wires are tighten on the bows. The visitors can make them resonating and creating new soundlayers. The sound, that is produced through the room and the presence of the visitors is stored into a circle.

After the exhibition was finished, the bows were brought back again to their original place.
