A soundscape is the product of the particular environmental conditions of a site and the psychological, spiritual and physical presence of a listener. The tour will tune the audience into the sounds of Berlin and investigate how to recreate and transport a soundscape from the periphery to the center as we "carry" our sound impressions from the Grunewald Forest to the Radomes of Teufelsberg and finally to the Spree in Mitte. The participants will learn how to transform into a human recording device and work together like a choir that captures and embodies a space using only the body. Recording / Recoding is the meditative act of transporting the ephemerality of a space requiring nothing more than attentive ears.

Eine Klanglandschaft ist das Produkt der jeweiligen Umweltbedingungen eines Ortes und der psychologischen, spirituellen und physischen Präsenz der (zu)hörenden Person. Die Tour wird das Publikum in die Klänge Berlins einstimmen und untersuchen, wie eine Klanglandschaft entstehen und von der Peripherie ins Zentrum transportiert werden kann, indem wir unsere klanglichen Eindrücke des Grunewaldes zur Radarstation auf den Teufelsberg und schließlich nach Mitte an die Spree „tragen“. Die Teilnehmer*innen werden lernen, wie man sich in ein menschliches Aufnahmegerät verwandelt und als Chor einen Ort verkörpert. Recording / Recoding ist eine Art meditativer Akt, der die Flüchtigkeit eines Ortes weitertransportiert und nicht mehr erfordert als aufmerksame Ohren.

Sheri Simons: ‘I am interested in sculpture as an instrument, broadly defined as something that aids in or causes an action or a reaction. Working in wood, sound, and movement for the last eleven years has led to solo and group exhibitions at museums and galleries in the U.S., Canada and South America. Among these are the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Southern Exposure Gallery, Gallery 16 and Catharine Clark Gallery (San Francisco), The Detroit Institute of Arts, Textile Art Centre in Chicago, Florida State University in Tallahassee (show traveled to 5 cities in Colombia, South America), Anchorage Museum of History and Art, San Francisco Craft and Folk Art Museum, University of Alaska Museum, Alaska State Museum, and Objects Gallery in Chicago.’
