How to be a collidable network sound and live to tell about it? (H2BACNSAL2TAI?)
WHAT IS H2BACNSAL2TAI?
H2BACNSAL2TAI is a group activity that builds, and possibly destroys, a sonic network. H2BACNSAL2TAI imagines how networkable sound lives, from the view of sounds, via to the creation of collisions & networks.
Data networks made of bits known as “packets”, are chunks of information passed on within a given locale to create a network of information.
H2BACNSAL2TAI is an active imagining how it might be as an information packet that contains sound in a network. This is done through actively breaking the network – through colliding packets. Each collision will create its own new network sound.
HOW TO DO H2BACNSAL2TAI
To do H2BACNSAL2TAI, we need at least 3 people – upto any number – to form a circle. To begin with, there will be 2 kinds of messages – sound based “information packets”. Initiated by me, each type will be sent through the circle in a clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.
The initial two message types will be:
* A coded logic pseudocode that would have made packets containing sounds collide and produce new sounds which could then travel to other direction on the network. Since it’s an algorithmic pseudocode logic, each person will be able to imagine being a collidable sound in a network. Each object – 53 in total – will travel anti-clockwise.
* Symmultaniously, 53 ideas of sound objects will travel clockwise through the circle. The sound ideas consist of descriptions and noise making, to do with collision sensations – e.g. gritted teeth, wind hitting guitar strings, an earth history of solar winds, etc..
Through H2BACNSAL2TAI process, collisions between nodes/people in the network will be created. Each person will progressively become a “sound colliding chamber” when they receive and transfer 2 different sound types – code & sound ideas.
On completing a full circle , a 3rd sound element will be introduced: Physical “sound packages” made of gaffa-taped bottles and balloons, filled with nuts**.
These will be thrown within the group, at times to another person, and others with the intention of colliding the “sound packages”. If the objects collide, they will be combined (taped) or split to form new sound packages.

Will attempt a version of this idea today at http://agencyofnoise.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/aas-live-at-the-prophetic-sound/
Am a bit concerned that there is a sort of implicit assumption people might not mind to come up and do the activity. (..indeed, this is presented, perhaps because of the presentational situation, rather than being a practice..)
Well.. In fact this is part of a research investigative process, a practice in itself, in which perhaps the true life and being of h2bacnsal2tai will be discovered and created simultaneously.
At any rate, the way this is going to Be today is, with some adaptations to the environment, and probably improvisations(??!!), ie tweaks I have not thought of before, as part of the research..
