STREIFZÜGE in und um 50N 6E
is an acousmatic composition based on sounds from field recordings, which i have collected during several walks across my home town Cologne in spring and summer 2021. 
Listening with patience and earphones or a good stereo system is highly recommanded.

Thanks to Musikfonds e.V. Germany, who kindly supported this project work with an artist's grant.

STREIFZÜGE In Und Um 50N 6E

MIND THE GAP, for soundscape and soloist
recording of live-performance at Galerie Viktoria B, Bonn, 2010

The acoustic snapshots, which I have collected during a journey to the south of England and London in April 2010, have been serving as source material for two versions of this iterinary's log.
For this version, I have focussesd more on the sound qualities of the source material. However this material has not been editied in it's physical acoustic structures. effects emerge only from multiplications and layers. Here chronological aspects play no role at all.
This version now serves as a 'playback tape' (oh yes, technique changed a bit since the days of Stockhausen and Ligeti) for my 'sculptures of compressed air', as which I like to refer to my Improvisations.
