For those who don't know, the Silo is: "...a project by [The User] which combines sound, architecture, and communication technologies to transform a significant landmark in the industrial cityscape of Montréal. Silophone makes use of the incredible acoustics of Silo #5 by introducing sounds, collected from around the world using various communication technologies, into a physical space to create an instrument which blurs the boundaries between music, architecture and net art. Sounds arrive inside Silo #5 by telephone or internet. They are then broadcast into the vast concrete grain storage chambers inside the Silo. They are transformed, reverberated, and coloured by the remarkable acoustics of the structure, yielding a stunningly beautiful echo. This sound is captured by microphones and rebroadcast back to its sender, to other listeners and to a sound installation outside the building. Anyone may contribute material of their own, filling the instrument with increasingly varied sounds." Naturally, Lee was interested in trying out this massive audio playground and assembled a collection of some previously unreleased works with some brand new material, recorded especially for the project. On July 16, 2007, he uploaded each file individually, and recorded the mono stream. Although the performance was intended to be segue, there is a delay of about 30-40 seconds from the time the file is uploaded to when it is played back through the stream. Therefore, moments of silence that occured are used as track markers, even though the performance is intended to be listened to in one sitting.
