Bless this mess – an acoustic portrait of a place
13' 16" (based on Alvin Lucier’s ‘I am sitting in a room’)

A recording which contains short audible statements/contributions
connected to a special room, called S P E E L P L A A T S.
I edited 2 min. It is replayed in space. The signal went through
the air, again and again. Slightly smoothed out every concrete sounds,
but reinforced its natural resonance frequencies. Out of this
process grew the final recording.

This piece is NOT made for headphones — it should be played in a room.
