sunday walks in berlin #1 / hackesche höfe - tiergarten / 12/06/22


sunday walks in berlin is a new endeavour i recently embarked on.
each possible sunday i take a walk from a randomly chosen point a to point b. i record the whole walk with the zoom h6 field recording device. i dont talk to anybody on the street during the whole recording process.

taking a walk on a calm sunday feels always like a moving meditation. with these recordings i want to try and let the listener become me, visualize the surrounding area in their mind whilst hearing the recording with their eyes closed, preferrably on headphones.


///


this is track #1. it takes you from hackesche höfe to tiergarten. in this 56 min. you pass by a vast amount of people, languages and noises, too many to count. all walks of life. snippets of conversations, bits of street musicians performing, trains / trams / cars / busses rushing through the streets, all kinds of events happening around every corner. if you are familiar with the area, you can easily envision it. if youre not, open up street maps and try to follow what you hear.

This kind of recording is music to me. My pace of walking is the tempo of the piece, the path i choose to take is the writing.

by adding an ambient background layer (thanks to my recent studies of the works of brian eno, john cage and iannis xenakis) i try to give an idea of the inner state of my consciousness during my sunday walk undertaking. the recurring bass is to be understood as a sort of meditation bell in a new outfit. in the end things aren´t what they seem.
