edition Sondage is where my stranger records live now. Four so far. The newest one has been waiting since 2011.

feature: the code is cold (CiC audio:redux), 2026

be careful what you wish for

the code is cold is a cycle of works I have been working on since 2011: 45 digitally corrupted files, overwritten with clauses of a manifesto addressed to or by an artificial intelligence that did not yet exist. „CiC audio:redux“ is a faithful (re)assembly of those 45 text fragments as sound. One thirty-minute piece, nothing smoothed over or added for effect. Black ice still breaks, code remains cold.

In 2011, artificial intelligence still seemed a long way off, a thought experiment in code as aphorism. 15 years later, the machine responds, and the manifesto reads strangely prescient and eerily contemporaneous.
