The record-o-mat is open for all.
It is a participative sound installation, which creates a place in the public domain, where you could get in contact, personally or as an acustic part of the collective composition, which express the diversity of people and helps to accept coincidence and the unknown.
The record-o-mat is a telephone booth that’s been converted into a mobile recording studio. People from the neighbourhood, passers-by and others, all are invited to add their individual recording to the continuously growing, generative composition. Through a digital algorithm, every recording is added to the composition and connects to fragments of all other recordings.

The composition is continuously played through a small sound system and mixes with the actual sounds of the environment where it becomes part of the experience.
The artistic exchange and identification with other participants can occur in the neighbourhood as well as at the festival and can be experienced as part of the whole. Added to that, the record-o-mat gives one the freedom to experiment with sound as a way of personal expression, it creates a platform to express daily concerns and invites to relax and listen.
