While scattered fragments of sound recorded at the dense acoustic environment of Athens, Greece, are reconstructed through corpus based concatenative synthesis, the sonic personality of the city retains its realism as it loses fixation. Sonic events rearranged into tiny pieces, form a pointillistic mirroring of Athenian anthropophony, disclosing the utter compression and concrete lack of space both in the dimensional and acoustic domain. While considering a data base of sound as the medium I treated the recorded sonic events as information being gathered and utilised in a more apocalyptic sense.
