An interest in deep listening and conversations on material led to this collaboration between Marc Merza and Ryan Beckemeyer. Working with a call and response of long form improvisation alongside digital video synthesis, the two created an edition that influences our perception of natural form through the interplay of sound and materials.

Signed and numbered edition of 33 + 7 proofs.
