spongeworks is an instrument made from metal-wool used in households for cleaning pots and pans. connected to the different pins of the balanced input of a mixing-console, they by pressing and other manipulations produce a wide variety of sounds, eventually even picking up radio-transmissions.
the resulting sounds are then processed by live-electronic means.
