Hanoi - DaNang (CDr excerpt, 2013)

The Schnarcharchiv (Snoringarchive) is a growing collection of audio-recorded fatigue. The sound of snoring and sleeping humans and animals is captured in all places and states of rest, sleep and nap, during night- and daytime since 2009. The collection was initiated and is still run by artist Peter Strickmann. 

Here, on this soundcloud-page, you will mostly find excerpts of some of the raw and untreated, unedited, untouched recordings, next to some compositions that were published on records or during exhibitions. In case of deeper interest in the collection or any further information, don't hesitate to contact me.
