I participated in a city wide art project to make use of large corrugated shipping containers left derelict in the port city.  My contribution turned one of these containers into a large speaker room in the downtown of Glasgow.  Sound material, activated by public interaction played extremely loud recording of whispers - publicly broadcast secrets. 

paperthin is a four channel spatial audio piece prepared for a public sound art installation.  A 300 watt-per-channel quadraphonic audio sound system, consisting of two personal address systems and four speakers arranged in the four corners of the container, was devised for sound diffusion. The shipping container was positioned on the corner of Bothwell Street and Douglas Street in downtown Glasgow, Scotland. The installation continued for four hours beginning at 9pm on November 21st, 2002.

The paperthin soundtrack diffused through the steel walls of the container, producing astonishing natural reverberation and comb-filter shading to the original sound. Later, the doors to the container were opened and those interested could sit or stand inside. The quadraphonic audio was spatialised in such a manner as to suggest various moments of human intimacy in different localities within the space. The opened container also directed much of the sound out into the busy street, destroying the recorded characters' privacy and preventing any seclusion from the urban landscape.
