In the sound film, Sound House (everyone is working), tasks such as checking guidance systems and repairing security systems are replaced by sonic tasks: brick laying, improvised live-feed video, manipulating two Bunraku-like puppets, and arranging eight modular sound walls. The puppets and performers fill their time memorizing instructions, practicing launch procedures, playing games, reading, and napping, which creates an effect of tending and focused activity. Meaning emerges through accumulation, concurrence, and patient observation.
