A: In 2015, the Borusan Orchestra in Istanbul, were interrupted mid-symphony by port-workers protesting Borusan Holdings (who also ran the port). The video depicts each member of the orchestra attempting to remember at which part of the song they were interrupted, reenacting this part with their instruments. 
B) A maritime worker humming the songs that they remember being played, when in 2017 a fishing boat interrupted the high-sea telecommunication channels to play music from their phone for 3 hrs, sabotaging all communication. 

The work creates a dialectical juncture between these two separate moments, excavating the acoustic ghosts of lost time within memories of supply-chain interruption.
