Exploring alternate modes of recollection, review and repetition as forms of collaborative and generative non-sense-making, this work may afford a listening that is both restless and tethered, displaced and situated. These modes function as an experiment in the de-construction of space and sound shapes through multiple languages—Norwegian, German, Mandarin and English. With this, the project challenges conventional structures of communication and listening.

Gesturing towards Anarchitecture and Dadaism, this score explores attention, absurdity, legibility, (mis)recognition and the spatiality of languages. Here, listeners are invited to observe their own listening biases and approaches toward legitimising sounds, syllables and sentences as a form a space-making.
