POST is an 8-channel soundscape composition using field recording of the Vancouver Mail Processing Plant. The unaltered sound of individual machines sorting letters provides a curious atmosphere and counterpoint, while the materials are eventually processed to create an aural impression of the workplace. The listener is confronted with the rising ambience of the environment until a marked exit, at which point a certain psychoacoustic effect is felt.
