I composed (and performed) this piece for the award winning feature film "Unrueh"/"Unrest" by director Cyril Schäublin (2022). The text is from an original anarchist song, sang by Swiss anarchists in Jura in the end of the 19th century.

Choir: Caroline Ann Baur, Monika Stalder, Gessica Zinni, Li Tavor

Movie summary: 
New technologies are transforming a 19th-century watchmaking town in Switzerland. Josephine, a young factory worker, produces the unrest wheel, swinging in the heart of the mechanical watch. Exposed to new ways of organizing money, time and labour, she gets involved with the local movement of the anarchist watchmakers, where she meets Russian traveller Pyotr Kropotkin.

Places 3
Places has been changing. To grasp change is not possible, only the effects of changes are for us to access. A place might be a possibility of an encounter, where appearances show themselves as repetitions of the everyday.
All sorts of physical places, other than the ones we now know all too well, might act only as imagery for things we cannot reach.
How places look and how they sound, nice, strange or whatever, they do it just for and by themselves. If we happen to truly encounter a place, which happens to be a rare exception, we may learn a lot about us and eventually taste and hear differently. Places change through the narratives we place over them. An event is the moment when this facade gets small cracks. These small cracks are like organic lines that mark the reality of places and are the traces we follow when playing Places 3.
