Antye Greie-Ripatti, Brett Bloom, and Bonnie Fortune came together during the two week Case Pyhäjoki Artists Respond to Nuclear Influence camp in Pyhäjoki, Finland. They worked together as an audio working group during the camp to record sound, create compositions, lead group sonic exercises, and record interviews with relevant people involved in the Pyhäjoki community struggle against the possible construction of a nuclear power plant. The three artists have their own practices outside of this temporary collaboration.
