Fieldrecording: Asten: Stopfenreuter Au

BikeMike is a collection of field recordings at the intersection of technology and nature.

BikeMike - Asten: Stopfenreuter Au

Soundsource: I did this recording for a music-piece called "Asten" for "Resocycling" for the festival "Randzonen" by the Festival der Regionen in Upper-Austria 25.6. - 4.7.1999 in the Stopfenreuter Au near Mitterwasser.

You have to know that Asten is a small city south og Linz, Austria with all main raffic-routes within the city. The main highway from Vienna going west, Austria's main railway-route, airplanes fly over Asten when they land at Linz Airport and shipping at river Danube. But in beetween thias you can find such a great sounding forrest and swamp.

Recorded with an AKG 414 Mk II on DAT

You can buy a cd with booklet of "Asten" here!
