This installation consists of 8 mono location recordings played simultaneously through separate speakers.  In each of these recordings, an acoustic guitar has been placed in a space with an ebow on top of it, causing it to resonate.  The recordist begins 68 footsteps away from the resonating guitar, slowly approaches with a microphone at 8 seconds per step, then returns to the same distance away at 4 seconds per step.  The simultaneous broadcast of these recordings results in the gradual unification of the dissimilar locations through the presence of the guitar.
