sunday walks in berlin #2 / port of sacrow / 02/07/23


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 #2. it takes us to the port of Sacrow, which is close to the wannsee lake just outside of berlin. this specific area is basically a big estate that´s open to the public. It´s home to the castle sacrow, which was built for Lt. General Johann Ludwig von Hort in 1773. in 1816, the berlin based banker Magnus obtained the estate. It is also the place where Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy composed parts of his string quartett in a minor (Op.13). the nature in this area is breathtaking and soothing.

right beside the water stands the church of the savior at the port of sacrow. it was built by the architect Ludwig Persius in 1844 for Friedrich Wilhelm IV. It was built in italian style with a free standing campanile and is astonishingly beautiful. that´s where i first sat down and enjoyed the peace, quiet & scenery before i took a slow walk across the estate, letting the wind take over thoughts.

this kind of recording is music to me. the pace of walking is the tempo of the piece, the path chosen is the writing process.

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.
