Clever actionism
Sound installations by Barblina Meierhans and works by Nicolaus Anton Huber were among the highlights in Witten this year. The Days for New Chamber Music took place from May 5 to 7.
There are also beautiful places in the Ruhr region. Miners used to come to the Hammerteich in Witten when they made trips to the surrounding area on a budget. Now the sky is no longer as gray as it was 50 years ago, when the chimneys were still smoking in the industrial and coal-mining region. Now the sun is shining - and art is thriving: sound stations on the banks of the small Hammerteich pond invite you to listen. Gordon Kampe, a composer from nearby Essen, has a men's choir singing on the other bank. Small model ships also sail across the water. Kampe has equipped them with MP3 players that transport original sounds from nearby citizens. You learn something about the pond: what happened here, what is known about it.
Sounds - delayed
