In  March 2007 Foton was invited by Pleiade Nord to carry out field recordings in Brussels' North station area. These fields recordings and associated remix are presented as part of a research report on the area's particular noise pollution problems. The N(O0_O)RD remix uses the recorded material and interprets it, processing and looping sounds into a particular soundscape.

These recording are the source material for the online remix project featured here. You're invited to download the recording, remix it and send it back on cdr to the address below. Your remix will then be added to this page, along with the other ones. Don't forget to send some contact info along with your remix. You can also download an already existing remix, re-remix it and send it back. The result should be a constantly growing remix-tree, with the original recordings as its roots.

Make our tree grow and send your remix to:
