With the use of an audio recorder, the sounds of selected places or specific sonic phenomena are recorded. At a later date, these initial recordings are deleted again. This process is captured in the form of „writing“. Thus a series of notations is being created.
Example:
Wind (gentle)
Record: 8.8.2021, 3:24 PM, Mönbachtal Eifel, (D).
Delete: 8.8.2021, 3:31 PM
Duration: 3’17“
In January 2023, all the notations created since 2004 were recorded in the studio of the Südwestrundfunk (SWR) by a female and a male voice. The CD edition presented here is a selection of them. The read out notations always alternate between a female and a male voice. The duration of the originally recorded sound material is kept as silence.
