Lasse-Marc Riek (D) - CANCELLED!
Helgoland - Acoustic field recordings of animals and landscapes
Helgoland
The island Heligoland is located three hours of sailing time off the German coastline. An
island in the midst of the North Sea, bearing many stories from World War II, and vast
breeding grounds for arctic birds. Storms and strong winds are daily routine at the red
island. Various birds such as gray seals, northern gannets, or young guillemots with their
famous cliff jumps, call for exciting listening situations. Three years of acoustic field
research result in a sonic portrait of animals and environmental sounds.
For 'Far Out', a soundscape composition is being presented within the context of a live
performance.
