Oval product may be seen as a fairly ironic reference to an eventual prototype for an Oval audio consumer product. This sound objects« scarce, but yet unparalleled interface offers an incomparably intuitive way of effectively "re-mapping" any audio CD (bring your own) in a playful however explorative manner.

Material from any CD is fragmented in several small pieces, which are instantly rearranged by the product. A trivial tempo delay effect allows for a joyful rhythmisation of the material.

In this product, some of Ovals composition principles are hardcoded in a ridiculously explicit way and can be discussed quite easy this way.
