The performer sat like a spiritual oracle on the floor of a large electrical goods store and reproduced with his voice every sound which he heard through the headphones connected to the TV set. Movies, news, music, advertising, every conceivable tones and noises were performed using his vocal talents. The visitors switched between the different TV channels with the remote controls for hours and enjoyed the unconventional spiritual session.
