\u201eThere is no such thing as silence\u201c, war John Cages Aussage nach dem Aufenthalt in einem schalltoten Raum. F\u00fcr ihn h\u00f6rbar; sein Herzschlag, das Rauschen des Blutes in seinen Adern und vom Nervensystem produzierte Frequenzen. Ein Puls, ein innerer Rhythmus. Body-Symphonie.\u00a0Verstehen wir die Stadt als Cages K\u00f6rper, dann formulieren die Stromleitungen das Nervensystem, die Wasserleitungen und das Transportsystem im Untergrund das Rauschen des Blutes als pulsierenden Gleichstrom. Diese Systeme halten die Stadt am Leben, sind ihr Herzschlag, ihr Puls.\u00a0Mittels Fieldrecording analysiere ich die Untergrundger\u00e4usche von Hamburg, Hong Kong und Z\u00fcrich: Mechanische Rhythmen, atmende Tunnels, atmosph\u00e4risches Rauschen und tropfende Kan\u00e4le ergeben ein von mir interpretiertes Soundscape der jeweiligen St\u00e4dte.<\/p>\n

\u201eThere is no such thing as silence\u201c. This was John Cage\u2019s statement after spending time in an soundproof\u2019 room; he could hear his heart beating, his blood flowing, and frequencies produced by the nervous system… a pulse, an inner rhythm, like a symphony of the human body.\u00a0Understanding a city as Cage\u2019s body, electrical lines could be the nervous system, water pipes and underground railways the noise of flowing blood, a pulsating current. Those systems keep the city alive, they are its heartbeat, its pulse.\u00a0With a Zoom Handy Recorder H4n and two external omnidirectional microphones I am doing field recordings in underground systems of Hamburg, Hong Kong and Zurich: mechanical rhythms, breathing tunnels, atmospheric noises, and dropping pipes make up my soundscape that simulates the pulse of the cities.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eve H\u00fcbscher<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201eThere is no such thing as silence\u201c, war John Cages Aussage nach dem Aufenthalt in einem schalltoten Raum.
