The sound installation »oh cet echo« enables visitors to speak into a microphone, while their voice is simultaneously simulated by a musical instrument (piano, marimba, vibraphone, or flute, each using short or longer tones). Visitors can change from one instrument to the next using a push-button, and are also provided with a short recording of previous visitors (with a time delay of one second). Over time, the words of the visitors create a joint musical composition.
