Answer: A very curious Pozible campaign.

“Inspired by 100-year-old Edison wax cylinder recordings, SWEET TRIBOLOGY is an international radio art project with 40 women from 10 countries who make chocolate records to be listened to and eaten during radiophonic picnics in Europe and Australia where listeners will bring their radios. Each event will invite the listener to be immersed in various soundscapes through radio speakers, while eating the music printed on chocolate records.

It’s the idea of French born, though now Tasmanian based artist and curator Julia Drouhin:

“I wanted to know how 40 women would use their voices as artists today by interpreting ghostly voices from the past. SWEET TRIBOLOGY is an ode to women in sound art, teasing the fading beauty out of the forgotten wax cylinders and cooking some sweet chocolate records out of them during radiophonic picnics. As the diamond reaches the surface, the sculpted sound is erased. The more you play the soft recording, the less you hear the original and instead, hear the other sounds all around. I question de/re-generation process, as well ways of sharing music and interacting in public space.

Artists include:
