TOB is a collaboration of different sound artists based in Berlin. The TOB audio production idea is derived from concepts of occupation of spaces and communication technologies
and recycling/re-using materials.
1st level:
- the input in micro-local space (diy vibrational microphones, kids toys, the guts of a videogame, fm receivers) is taking instruments, inner sounds of bicycles, selfmade
electronic devices, feedbacks.
2nd level:
- radio p.a. is supplying the next ambience with amplified acoustic events.
3rd level:
- fm transmitters supply the wider ambience & are used for feedback.
4th level:
- sometimes we transmit into global space via internet.
the erroneous nature of all these communication ways producing interference, hiss, noises, hums - is part of the game.

A digitla chip (HEX-Inverter: The NOT function) is taken from a pc mainboard and misused in an analog circuit as a chaos chip. Computers- as symbol processing machines - are doing a trick with the physical space surrounding us. By definitio states between 1 and 0 are not allowed. This experimental setup uses these illegal states. The generated signals spreads into vicinity via FM transmitters, are reflected and modified by people and materials in numerous ways. Feedback is also used. The whole room oscillates. The radios make this audible.
