Elijah Maja's research project is an exploration on "call and response", as an experimental technological system that threads culture together, a technology that puts out a signal picked up by bodies globally. The journalist Chal Ravens references philosopher Yuk Hui stating that ‘technology is not our competitor but a kind of prosthetic that makes us human’. When we take into account technology as a body of knowledge used to create, extract and process, as well as a means of accessing information, by definition, call and response activates with these same ideologies, providing space for interpretation, new channels for the exploratory nature of music and ways of hearing and communicating.
