It’s not about clarity – it’s about expression.
This is a social experiment project in storytelling.
Visit my YouTube channel @athenareddersen to view my work. This is a new project launched in the Summer of 2025; the reels are currently rolling and the phone line is ringing. Stay tuned.
I receive, interpret, and translate your voice into something visual and abstract.
Care to send an unmuted sound byte? Call the Hotline number at (626) 658-9693, and leave a message. Monologue texts are also welcome.
The hotline is open for you 24/7 to share your rants, epiphanies, and everything in between. Connect with us and be part of the bigger picture.
Transmit any passing thought, memory, rant, confession, or feeling.
This isn’t a dialogue.
It’s a distant connection – fragmented, indirect, and open to interpretation.

What is this movement about?
This is a social experiment that serves as a platform for individuals to share their thoughts, feelings, complaints, opinions, and experiences (etc.). It aims to foster community engagement and creative expression.
How can I contribute?
You can get involved by calling the hotline, where you can voice your opinions and/or share your personal stories. We encourage everyone to participate and contribute to the conversation.
What kind of topics can I share or discuss?
You can discuss any topic that resonates with you, including social issues, personal experiences, politics, creative ideas, anonymous confessions, random rants, or a simple message without a particular agenda. We value all perspectives and encourage open dialogue.
Will my identity be revealed?
It’s up to you. You decide how much you want to share. You can introduce your name or withhold that information when you leave a message by dialing the hotline number.
If you would like to leave a message but do not want your voice revealed, let me know in the message. I can alter your voice with my software program OR you can text the hotline number your message and I can read it on your behalf so that your identity remains anonymous.
When will I see my contribution in the project?
There will be no notification if I utilize your “unmuted-byte” unless you subscribe to my YouTube channel. I also cannot guarantee that your unmuted-byte will make the cut. *I have no official method of choosing which sound byte to use for a roll, however, your message has the ability to inspire a final production.
Legal Disclaimer: By leaving a voice message on the hotline number you are consenting for it to be published on a social media platform.
Is there a time limit for an unmuted-byte?
No. There is no time limit set in place. This is why I also welcome rants. The goal is to have enough sound bytes to choose from. I may not use the entire message but it makes for a more interesting monologue.
How do I contact the hotline to leave a message?
You can contact the hotline by calling or texting the number provided on the top of the website at (626) 658-9693.
Please note this number is only for leaving a message and you will not be receiving any callbacks or responses.
Where do you post your work?
This is a personal side project, and all work done relating to this can be found on my YouTube channel @athenareddersen, as well as Instagram @athena.reddersen
★★★★★
Participating in this project was a transformative experience for me. It provided a creative outlet to express my thoughts and connect with the world around me. The hotline was an incredible resource, allowing me to voice my opinions and rants in a supportive environment without judgement. I felt heard and valued, which is essential for community engagement. I highly recommend getting involved to be a part of the bigger picture. I can’t wait for the debut of this project!
