Fourteen separate but related pieces. Each pair of hand made electro-magnets tapped out Morse code texts from or about self-help manuals. The fourteen individually titled works combined to form “Chicken Soup From Mars”.

 Different quantities of delay were programmed resulting in a random soundscape as anything between one and fourteen pairs tap, tap, tapped.
