Round Table is a complex electro-acoustic system, made as a literarily comprehended radio genre – the round table – a collective and intuitive instrument that can also become a musical instrument. In an ideal case, playing/performing unfolds as a communication between three people, within a very abstract sound space formed by a round table - quite a “disobedient” instrument. Three records move left/right, alternately slowing down and speeding up, evading control. Three people approach a basic system by bringing their (six) hands close to the sensors – the antennas of twelve theremin instruments.
