an acronym likewise referring to the european financial stability facility and a chromatic row of tones: EFSF.
with the memorandum of understanding (a non-understandable legal text) as a libretto, synthetic voices
in ten languages act as solo singers and choir.
google translate's text-to-speech function get's fed
with several variations of this acronym, articulating (and translating) the incomprehensible.
