In der Post City gibt es keinen Lärm mehr. Sie ist so leise, dass die Bewohner Klänge zufügen müssen. Das geschieht durch Ansiedelung von Tieren, windbetriebenen Klangskulpturen, dem Anlegen von Wasserläufen und -kaskaden, aber auch durch gestaltete Soundscapes und Zonen in denen temporär auch Lärm, sehr laute Events und ohrenbetäubende Klänge stattfinden können. Dieses neue urbane Lebensgefühl gibt den Menschen und Communities die Möglichkeit eine Klangkultur, aurale Erinnerungkulturen und akustische Wahrzeichen zu entwickeln. In Post City geht es nicht bloß um weniger oder gegen etwas, sondern für etwas radikal Neues.

"Post City - An aural fiction" besteht aus vier Sätzen: before - now - a sound walk - time stands still. Das Stück besteht aus field-recordings, sound design und komponierten Elementen. Es ist konzipiert für Subwoofer, Lautsprecher, Hörner und Hypersonic Speaker, als eine konzertante Sound Installation.

Post City - An Aural Fiction (english)

There is no more noise in the Post City. It is so quiet that the inhabitants have to add sounds. This happens through the settlement of animals, wind-operated sound sculptures, the creation of water courses and cascades, but also through designed soundscapes and zones in which noise, very loud events and ear-piercing sounds can also temporarily take place. This new, urban attitude towards life gives the people and communities the possibility to develop a sound culture, aural cultures of remembrance and acoustic landmarks.

Post City – An Aural Fiction consists of four movements: before - now - a soundwalk - time stands still. The piece is made up of field recordings, sound design and composed elements. It is conceptualized for subwoofer, loudspeaker, horns and hypersonic speaker, as a concertante sound installation. In Post City it is not simply a question of less or being against something, but being for something radically new.

Recorded live at Postcity, Gleishalle (dimension app. 120m x 40m) September 6th 2016 with 2 microphones and from mixing-desk.
