This is a simulation of the sound installation Birthday Bash by Sarah Washington, which was exhibited on the construction site of the Alte Weinbauschule in Bernkastel on the 29th June 2019. The sounds, recorded two days previously at the site, are of various building activities or were made by playing in the empty resonant spaces with found materials such as metal bars, bottles and sheets of polystyrene. Audio transformations were made to short excerpts of the recordings, which were then played randomly over two radio transmitters to 30 radios. As it was very noisy on site, this recreation was made afterwards to give a clean sound.
