The “acoustic laptops” are wood boxes with various tiny objects attached; springs, stones, metal, rubber, string, needles, memorabilia – amplified by contact mikes (piezos).

They are musical instruments with which you can explore a soundworld that usually pass unnoticed and thus connect with unfiltered reality in a pleasurable way.

They appeared as a practical solution to how Boe´s previous chaotic table-top instrumentation could be easily recreated (and transported) for practice and continuity. So they are instruments, commenting on the current digital reality, social communication tools and (if desired); ritualised objects.
