All 35 minutes of “port activity” sound  (although sped-up and processed) is used in the work as well as other sounds.

Gesprochene Steine“ Klagende Steine" - "Sprechende Steine"

Bei einigen meiner zahllosen Spaziergänge durch meine Stadt Hamburg, mein altes Stadtviertel Altona, begegne ich häufig diesen so genannten „Stolpersteinen“ die in manchen alten Straßen in den Fußweg verlegt wurden. 

Sie liegen so unscheinbar da. Ich lese Namen, Geburt und Todestag jener Menschen die hier einst lebten. 
Blicke auf und manchmal steht sogar noch das alte große Gebäude wohin die Steine den Weg weisen.
Sie sind mahnende Gedenksteine von Ereignissen tiefster Finsternis.
In vielen deutschen Städten und Gemeinden auch in Hamburg wo ich lebe, wurde die jüdische Bevölkerung verfolgt, deportiert und ermordet.
Ein sehr dunkles Kapitel meines Landes.
Ich verspüre eine Ohnmacht über das unfassbare Schicksal dieser Menschen.
Ein in Stein gemeißeltes Gedächtnis und Vermächtnis. Sie sind nicht mehr Namenlos. 
Sie haben hier gelebt. 
Dennoch sind diese Menschen für immer verschwunden.
Ihre Stimmen, ihre Künste, ihre Kraft, ihre Bräuche.
Diese Steine mahnen, rufen und sprechen häufig zu mir, wenn ich über diese Steine gehe. So empfinde ich.
Bleibe stehen, verweile, gedenke unser.
Ich höre stumme Schreie, wehklagen. Sehe schemenhaft, umherhuschende dunkle Schatten. 

Dies veranlasste mich zu dieser düsteren und traurigen Komposition.
Denn ich finde keine Worte mehr. 
Die Steine sprachen zu mir. Es sind „Sprechende Steine“
„Singende und klagende Steine“

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Spoken Stones" "Wailing Stones" - "Talking Stones"

On some of my countless walks through my city of Hamburg, my old district of Altona, I often come across these so-called "stumbling blocks" that have been laid in the footpaths of some old streets.

They are so inconspicuous. I read the names, dates of birth and death of the people who once lived here. Look up and sometimes even the old big building still stands where the stones point the way.
They are admonishing memorial stones of events of deepest darkness.
In many German cities and communities, including Hamburg where I live, the Jewish population was persecuted, deported and murdered.
A very dark chapter of my country.
I feel powerless over the incomprehensible fate of these people.
A memory and legacy carved in stone. You are no longer nameless.
You lived here.
However, these people are gone forever.
Their voices, their arts, their strength, their customs.
These stones often admonish, call and speak to me when I walk over these stones. That's how I feel.
Stand still, linger, think of us.
I hear silent screams, wails. See vague, scurrying dark shadows.

This prompted me to create this somber and sad composition.
'Cause I can't find the words anymore
The stones spoke to me. They are "talking stones"
"Singing and Wailing Stones"

Thank you for your valued attention.

Spoken Stones

Vitas is a Latvian singer, who sings in Russian and Ukrainian. This song happens to be written in Russian, so I sang it that way (it’s easy for me to do because my native language is Czech and most slavic languages are somewhat similar, especially if you have a passion for learning languages, which I do).

This is a song I have always enjoyed and it brought me a lot of joy over the years, I hope my cover will do the same for you.

I obviously do not make any statement with this, the fact that it’s in Russian is just a part of the song for me, and it’s not the language’s fault how many of the people who speak it are unfortunately behaving or thinking. My country had a very negative experience with Russia in the past and regarding current situation, I want to say that I strongly condemn Russia for its absolutely unacceptable actions of mass murdering civilians and its terrorist behaviour in Ukraine.

I was considering changing the lyrics to Ukrainian and singing it that way, but the truth is I like the song the way it was written, so I hope everyone can understand that it’s just a language to me, I condemn the country that speaks it. And if that seems harsh - no. Russia’s actions are way more then harsh, so I think being a little bit ,,harsh” when we talk about them is a completely appropriate response. Thank you for reading and understanding.
