Radical Badical Leave the layers of the system that you cannot understand alone, and replace the others. For example, database wrapping would leave the old database intact and replace the processing code; code wrapping would leave the old decision-making algorithms, but replace the database engine; application wrapping would preserve the entire application, but would replace its environment - e.g., emulate an operator's input with a programming interface. Favorite track: the encyclical prototype for analog and ⁄ or digital cybernetic synthesis.

about

We started an audio project back in 2006. We worked on it at irregular intervals until it finally ended up forgotten in a box. Sometime during the pandemic, the box was found and opened. The project is now finished. It is our corrupted, distorted, and malfunctioning take on a “number opera” (Italian: opera a numeri; German: nummeroper).
