Bill Fontana made video and sound recordings, some underwater, at numerous locations along the Bosphorus, as well as in two Byzantine cisterns, namely the Theodosius Cistern and the Basilica Cistern. The relocating of the sound data Fontana collected in Istanbul with a portable recording studio – consisting of an 8-channel digital recorder, acoustic microphones, hydrophones and accelerometers and was achieved by playing them via loudspeakers in the Basilica Cistern at night, generating an incredible response from the huge void/vaults, a variety of reverberation, which in turn were recorded as the final composition through a method called “re/sounding”.
