Friends Come in Boxes

1935. “Schultz's last words were a strange stream-of-consciousness babble spoken in his hospital bed to police officers who attempted to calm him and question him for useful information. Although the police were unable to extract anything coherent from Schultz, his rambling was fully transcribed by a police stenographer."(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Schultz)

A Walk on the beach in the direction of Flamborough Head

Created using a field recording by Klankbeeld (for full recording https://freesound.org/people/klankbeeld/sounds/553494/)

Klankbeeld's description of the recording:

"Corona (covid-19) city is awakening in march 2020. The blackbird is already awake and sings his song. The sun will only rise in this suburb in two hours. 

"It's that early in the city. The Corona virus is also active and this part of the Netherlands is almost locked. Everyone stays inside. 

"The highway is behind this apartment building, but there is also little traffic there.

"So enjoy the birds while the city wakes up slowly."

Corona spring city, 5am, Netherlands (collaboration with Klankbeeld)

Welcome to the load-bearing wall of sound.

Music: No boundaries / Knows no boundaries. I don’t look anything like my profile photograph; I'm actually slightly shorter and a figment of my own delusions.

संगीत: कोई सीमा नहीं। / कोई सीमा नहीं जानता।. मैं अपनी प्रोफ़ाइल फ़ोटो की तरह कुछ भी नहीं देखता; मैं वास्तव में थोड़ा छोटा हूं।

Музыка: Без границ / не знает границ. Я совсем не похож на фотографию своего профиля; Я на самом деле немного короче.

الموسيقى: بلا حدود / لا تعرف حدود. لا أبدو مثل صورة ملفي الشخصي ؛ أنا في الواقع أقصر قليلاً.

音乐：无界限/无界限。我看上去不像我的个人资料照片；我实际上略矮一些。
