The Sublime Recorder is a speculative device designed to imprint new sonic energy into previously erased matter. Within the discourse of infinite sound, matter is regarded as a medium. Matter has the ability to contain, absorb and emit sonic energy from past events. Preparing the matter for imprinting is done by washing it in white noise.

The Sublime Recorder is intended to receive and direct sound towards the object inside, while protecting the object against sonic overload using a degree of isolation and filtering. Visitors can leave their own imprint.
