explores different points of intersection between the voice and the
space in which it exists. Using two sets of binaural headphones, a series
of four-channel recordings were made by Jennifer Walshe and Bernhard Gal
within a variety of spaces - a pet shop, the Turkish market in Kreuzberg,
a farm for children, a supermarket and an apartment. In each place, the
recordings were synchronised in terms of time, but not in terms of space
– both composers wandered freely, picking up both global and local sounds.
The content of these recordings inspired and shaped the creation of all
acoustic materials used in the piece.
