Reverse Engineering

Info

We live in a time of tight surveillance. Under the guise of cheap convenience, streaming technology has allowed a handful of corps full control over the way we listen and engage with music.

This release is our attempt to play with and make felt the mechanics of listening. Putting the focus back on private control of files, and engaging directly with the first principles of computer audio technology.
