Metal is a material that is typically hard, opaque, shiny, and has good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals are generally malleable — that is, they can be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking — as well as fusible and ductile. The absence of a layer of atoms in its densely packed structure enables a metal to deform plastically, and prevents it from being brittle.
This plasticity characteristic of Metal is what I tried to replicate in this work which is entirely made out of recordings of metal objects of all sorts.
