TRANSCALAR INVESTMENT VEHICLES
An audio visual extravaganza with music by THE ERRORISTS.
'A financier is awoken from a nightmare to learn that a disaster has triggered the investment vehicle called ‘Prometheus’. Its designer, the late founder of the bank who is remembered as “the Hippie”, has left behind a daughter in her aesthetic reveries.
In this tale of the relationship between generations and nations and visions and investments, The Financial, The National and The Formal seek the story of a structure with the funked-out radar of their wordgames'

There were many intense noises from the traffic, some of the audio was overdriven and the dialogs were sometimes hard to understand. At the end we could realize a mixing which ensures that the dialogs were understandable and we could reduce the noise level to an endurable level
