A walk around the sound art exhibition currently taking place at ZKM Karlsruhe, Germany 2012. I think the exhibition runs until December 2012 and it's well worth a look if you are anywhere in the vicinity. There are about 90 sound works in the exhibition located about the space, some in close proximity and some in their own rooms. This is a recording of a walk around the space.
