2006. Tao G. Vrhovec. REALITY SOUNDTRAK (technical data)
DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTALLATION
Installation consists of a big – 5.5 m (length) x 4.5 m (height) Reality Soundtrack Instruction Score (see documentation) on a wall. In front of the wall, there is small radio transmitter with antenna that is transmitting RS. On the floor, there are 25 radio receivers scattered around, transmitting the sound in moderate loudness. Next to the wall there is a television with video documentation of the previous interventions, and a table with A4 photocopies of previous Intervention Maps.
WEBSITE (under construction)On the Website, there is all the documentation about Reality Soundtrack. It is possible to download sound in MP3 format, and to print out the Reality Soundtrack Instruction Score, which has all the information and instructions necessary for the intervention to be realised – it is some kind of score for the realisation of the intervention.
Website enables global realisation of the sound intervention, which means as well, that my presence as the author of the project is no longer absoloutley necessary for the realisation.

2006. Tao G. Vrhovec. REALITY SOUNDTRAK (theoretical data)
CONCEPT
The goal of the intervention is to transpose a real situation in public space onto a plane of fictionality. The sound intervention alters the mode of perception of a random passer-by listener. That which a listener sees becomes a fiction and support for that which he or she hears. The result of such alienation is that the listener no longer perceives reality as something that has any immediate effect on his or her own existence but, rather, accepts it as an aesthetic phenomenon; this, however, may present a direct threat to his or her own existence.
DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT
RS (REALITY SOUNDTRACK) is sound intervention in public spaces as post offices, passages, shopping malls, streets, …
Sound carriers are people equipped with small radio receivers – 25 or more people, each one having 1 radio receiver.
All these radio receivers transmit the same electronic composition, which is transmitted from a mobile short range radio station, or even better, from an existing radio station.
All the participants – carriers are walking together through parts of a city following a given score of movement. The audible result of the action is a moving cloud of sound, which is traveling through a city.
The duration of the intervention is flexible, best around 2 hours in the afternoon time.
