Everything you hear is filtered through your memories. No one puts the world together like you and no one carries the same holographic recollection of time and place. \"23 ways...\" is here to catch your attention and re-imagine the world with stories, songs and music that may trigger and jiggle your memory banks.

Right now you\'re hearing a recollected sound-history of my world: every 30 minutes the day\'s progress is sonically celebrated; there\'s a song that anyone can sing; a parade of amateur singers on Karl-Marx Strasse in Berlin-Neukölln; a sonogram of pushcart vendors in New York City ca. 1911; tortellini, mustard plants and galaxies; streams with boulders and watercress; and don\'t forget the paradiddles.

If you stand directly under a speaker when there\'s a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown, you\'ll hear a short story. Or walk 23 steps through the passage-way with the parade (it happens every hour). Hum one of the melodies or add your voice to the sing-along chorus.

Stroll with \"23 ways...\" to the edge of town where the all-night pizza place was, and a parade begins, stop for ice-cream, the smell of coffee, a rub behind a dog\'s ear, a tumble down a grassy hill, a father\'s voice, momentary my stories and simple songs.
The take-away service is free: it\'s your memory!
