Since 2013 I have been asking friends worldwide to record their personal New Year’s Eve by sound recording, exactly in the period from 11.55 p.m. to 12.05 a.m. In my work I explore the possibility of a collective, global, acoustic memory. Although recorded in different locations and cultural contexts, the event of the turn of the year is clearly “audible” in the installation. The transition from New Year to New Year is everywhere on the Celebrated world and is the central cultural event of time measurement. In the sound installation, simultaneity becomes something nonsimul- taneous, which is everywhere take place at the same time.
