Abstract:

This year's large " Landesgartenschau" of the state of Baden-Wuettemberg, Southwest Germany takes place in Plochingen. A new CD "Fluss durchs Ohr" (River/Flow through the ear) was composed by Thomas Gerwin, a soundscape journey along the Neckar river from the spring up to the flowing together with Rhine river. Ten sound postcards are created from typical places on the line, movement 11 (corrente...) on the Cd is freely composed purely from water sounds which are recorded around, above and inside the river and then processed in the computer music studio called inter art project.
