Today i go to find wood to create the bookshelf. Phonebook is an installation of sounds from within books within a collection of books on a bookshelf. I have kept all the pages i have cut out to insert the phones, not sure if i will use them to create the sounds or not.
PhoneBook uses the same techniques as Phone Box to create the soundscape; ringoetones form a composition that is interuppted by the public. But there are technical difficulties with this here in germany, our phones international roaming does not cover Germany and they are locked to the network so cant use german SIM cards. But i have some some phones i can use, and the Australian phones will operate as MP3 players that do not go interupted.
Most recent idea is to use text from creative commons licensed audio books for the ‘ringtones’. I am fasinated with the new popularity of audio books rejuvinated by podcasting.  But so far i have been decidedly dissapointed with the range of audio books available. i wanted to find books and poems but writers who have pioneered the cut up method, such as Burroughs, Gysion and even some Genesis P Orrige.  But i have found interviews with these artists, as well as with other important pioneers such as Morton Feldman and John Cage. I may have to create my own audio books!
The next cruical step is to find the right books for the right audio content, and the right books to surround them. So far i have 2 german books ; one of peoms and the other an old encylopedia for women. Finding podcasts and audio books by women has been  particularly difficult. I made a recording of Janet Cardiff’s talk at transmediale so may use that ; with her permission of course.
