The Sound Station is based on the principle of the Fire or Emergency Station, consisting of a sound-vehicle (equipped with PA system) + crew and a base. 4 invited guest artists are working to this principle during the 1-week duration of the Sound Station. Inside the station, sound-clips are recorded and edited; the vehicle leaves the station several times daily and exposes the city to sound.

The following sound patterns were played: drums and trumpets, song of a Bulgarian Roma girl, fragments of speeches by Bush and Blair.
