Soundcan is a sound work as well as a record/playback device built into a large stainless steel sugar shaker. Each Soundcan has a unique 2 minute sound work - made with the can itself. Each 2 minute sound work has been broken down into many audio segments. These audio segments are played back one after the other. Playback features include 'play/pause', 'stop/reset' and 'loop'. The 'loop' feature allows the first segment to repeat endlessly. Soundcan is also a recording device. It comes equipped with a separate blank, 2 minute audio chip and a small microphone. Instructions are included.
