Operating System, script, silicon carbide crystal, electric power line
Intermission is composed of an electronic system and a rudimentary suspension mechanism. Its principle is simplified as code written to analyse and retard an audio signal using the microphone input and segments of a computer interface as engines. A piece of silicon carbide crystal, suspended from the ceiling, interacts with the feedback of the system itself, acting as a gate that increases and decreases the fluctuation of a digital signal.
