filmmakers Lynn Loo, Guy Sherwin and sound artists Sarah Washington, Knut Aufermann. performed at Bullion Theatre 16th July 2005 for Spice Festival in London

Letters are printed onto raw film, and their shapes make sounds as they passed the projectors optical sound heads. Letters "O" and "E" are initially printed on transparency papers, which is later brought into a dark room. Strips of unexposed film are laid under the transparency and exposed to light, thus optically printed the letters onto the film.
