TEBR

2024–26 · sound, systems, code

Displacement is treated as a frequency problem: what happens to a voice when the room it was built for no longer exists?

TEBR begins with inherited recordings, Arabic modal structures, and the instability of listening after displacement. Generative systems are deliberately pressured, interrupted, and prevented from resolving their outputs into familiar Western harmonic closure. Prompts, sources, transformations, and failures remain traceable, allowing a glitch to function as both compositional material and evidence of what a model could not represent. The current archive brings together the sound work, its failure taxonomy, and its links to STTM and the Localization Gap research.

Cinematic Rail Type: 15-card flagship dossier
Method: adversarial generation, microtonal listening, truncation, and source traceability
Evidence: prompts, output comparisons, spectrograms, and a failure taxonomy
Status: active sound and research project with audio-visual material in development
