Volume/Platform consists of a higly resonant almost cubic space, an empty stage and machine underneath the stage, invisible to the audience. The machine emits mechanically produced clusters of sound on high volume. It resembles and physically reconstrucs the accoustic phenomenons of freight train breaks. As the speed of the machine varies, the sound varies as well, including the occasional provision of moments of silence.
