"DIALTONE" -by TAMAS SZAKAL(digital sound artist 
from Germany)of CONTOUR.NET

DIALTONE is a net audio installation exposing the 
physical and virtual space of the internet and 
attempting to open this hybrid space for sounds 
and noises by using simple telecomunication 
instruments like telephones and answering 
machines. This audio interface between telephone 
network and the internet explores how interaction 
and compression changes audio in a network. The 
installation connects the venue to our 
telecommunication network through sound and 
vision.

3 answering machines recieve 3 minute sound 
samples from all around the world. People 
transmit audio tracks with simple telephones by 
dialing one of the 3 "sound servers" and 
uploading nioses, words, or music. The machines 
are connected to an audio mixer and a to an 
amplifier for performing and installing the audio 
network live. Visitors in the venue mix the 
uploaded samples and work with the content of the 
system. 3 cameras capture the displays of the 
answering machines which are
projected back into the space for a phisical and 
for a virtual audience - live at the gallery 
(pavillon crescendo / Leipzig) and on
