In this piece I called everybody in the world with my telephone number (but different area / country codes).
Sometimes the number was not activated, sometimes the person answering and I had no language in common, sometimes people insulted me and hung up once I told them the reason for my call.
An exploration of the tenuous connection people with the same phone number but different area codes might have.
A mapping of identity via coincidence.
The other sounds you hear come from the recreation of a 1992 radio piece entitled Running away with me: conversations with the neither here nor there.
Instrumentation: one voice, two legs, many breaths, some distance. The piece consists of having a conversation with myself where, between each sentence, I have to run between two different rooms. A mic and recorder are setup in each room. In this piece the conversation is edited out.
