Sound piece (2015, Premiere)
by Knut Remond (Germany)
with material from the field recording walk and workshop "Zugvögel" "Migratory birds" (Coordination: Dionysis Anemogiannis) with migrant, refugee and residing children and their parents.
Workshop description:
On 26, 27 October 2016 a mixed group of migrant, refugee and residing children and their parents in Heinersdorf, Brandenburg, came together and took part in an experiential workshop about language and sound. This BYOB *Bring Your Own Language* workshop, set the emphasis on non-verbal and untranslated verbal communication, but also environmental sounds as the tools to explore and invent new ways of communication.
The sound composition by Knut Remond, featured in 'ohrenhoch, der Geräuschladen', is comprised of sound clips from a soundwalk conducted in the neighborhood and a story-telling and singing session that took place during the workshop, with the addition of recordings of migratory birds from Brandenburg contributed by the sound archive of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin.
The workshop Zugvögel, was funded by the stART programme, a programme by Robert Bosch Stiftung, conducted in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Thessaloniki and the Bundesvereinigung Soziokultureller Zentren e.V.
