Short bursts of sound produced with my own voice traverse the space. The tones of sound collide, sometimes harmonious, sometimes dissonant, calling across the space, measuring and defining the architecture. The sounds are produced by a pair of parabolic reflectors facing each other. The surfaces are polished to a mirror finish creating a space for reflection and projection. 

Side A of Disc 1 contains the sounds of the first sound mirror and side A of Disc 2 contains the sound of the second mirror. Ideally, they should be played on twin deck turntables. Side B of both discs is completely blank, as these blank surfaces are known in the recording industry as mirrors.
