The sound art project Plasticphonia dealt with the internationally relevant topic of a throwaway society, and particularly with the environmental contamination caused by plastic. Together with Greenpeace, clean-up organizations, and environmental activists, CRYSTN HUNT AKRON collected plastic garbage that was washed up on beaches and shores. The movement of materials such as plastic bags, bottles, cups, tubes, and brushes creates sounds and tones that were then used to compose an electro-acoustic symphony. This Plasticphonia was then released on a vinyl record and could be experienced in a participatory concert setting during the Festival of the Regions.
