Two ignition needles spin on a glass surface, their rhythmic ticking echoes as electric sparks connect their ends as they meet in the middle. Each spark weaves a unique blue thread between the needles. As they move further apart, the sound sharpens, shifting the resonance in space – an electric dance exploring the interplay of tension and energy, each discharge producing a sound that marks time through electricity rather than mechanics.
