The Air-Truth analog modulator



The Modulator is a way to collect whatever residues of truth and insight there may be present in the air at just above average roof height. The collector at the top is placed into the chimney where the connecting base resonates through a Vent-residue of least resistence. The small and otherwise undetected airborne flights of insight and Breeze-truth that are found in small percentages at this height are caught in a filter at the back. The filter or Confessional-gauze must be cleaned of the inevitable build up of lies and deceit pollen once a week.

At the bottom of the chimney the flights of insight and Breeze-truth are filtered through small receptors called positive receivers. The next step is that these are made into sounds via a small analog synth. The amount of sound modulation, wave type and tempo are conditioned by the qualities of truth, insight and the level of bullshit. The sounds are never recorded but effect the atmosphere as one might be touched by the presence of another.
