​

Void-fill packaging, folded into a zigzag, sits inside a waste bin. Transducers mounted to the shell play a twelve-minute composition built from the scrape and squeak of the material against the inner wall. For the first six minutes, this is all there is, barely audible in the room — to hear it, you put your head in the bin. Then cluster-like drones from a prepared Bontempi organ emerge underneath and gradually rise until they fill the room.​
