about

The river Weiße Elster crosses Leipzig. The track revolves around the relationship between humans and the river. The exploration shows how important the river is – for the artist, many other people and beings as well as for the specific character of the place. It brings a flow to the the city, offers relaxation, reflection, meeting places, contact with animals and nature, a sense of magic – whether that is white or black magic. Where there is the river, there is a great variety of sounds. The river’s burbling can drown annoying city noises and offer calmness. The river’s powerful noise at the weir, in contrast, drowns everything else. The river is a symbol of life. It can be soft, it can be forceful, and anything in-between. Bridges help to cross.

These compositions were created during the riversssounds residency in March 2021. They are also part of an interactive composition:

The interactive piece consists of these two tracks plus a voice track that can be mixed by the listeners. You can change what you hear by hovering the mouse across the screen and scrolling up and down. More info on how to use it on my website.
