A sound installation and musical piece for 8 electric guitars with no performers by Charbel Haber 2007-2008.

A support system in the absence of the living. A mechanical robot in it's most primitive form. A device with the sole purpose of maintaining a hoax: the illusion that this city is inhabited. Everyone left. Cooks, crooks, lovers, painters, sinners, husbands, wives, fanatics, politicians, cinematographers, whores, actors, photographers, bartenders, groupies, fans, TV presenters, designers, bankers, journalists, writers, musicians. And the instruments were left behind in the company of small mechanical setups to make them resonate. Sound waves shake lazy molecules so the air won't stagnate. Even if the musicians never come back, the city will sound alive.
