I felt that I need to play something as I followed the map. Adding the recored of the wire I was able to add an element which represents the land shown on the map and the mobile phone represents the fault lines and the movement the cause.

The wire recording was made in my garden one (for once) sunny Sunday afternoon with a stretched piece of wire with a contact mic attached to it. It was the first time I tried this idea and was surprised that it record more than just the sound of the wind blowing on the wire. Effects then applied in Ableton.

The mobile phone was recored using a coil mic to pick up the internal sound of it "talking" to the network. I set up to delay effects in Ableton and mapped there controls to my nano Kontrol, which I "played" live as I recored.
