ACOUSTIC WINDRIDE - GUIDED AUDIO TOUR IN OUR INNER SOLAR SYSTEM
Acoustic windride is a sound art piece produced for experimental radio broadcast. It invites the listener to a guided audio tour in our inner solar system supported by the wind. The basic audio material was provided by Disharmonika as it was played by the wind in Tempelhofer Feld which is known as the windiest place in Berlin. The reason for having recorded it at a former airport is symbolic. Where once planes took off from West Berlin for destinations all over the world, there is now over 300 hectares of green space for gardening, picnicking, bird watching, kite-surfing and leisure sport activities. The text focuses on carbon dioxide, a component of the air, a gas that we continuously in – and exhale, as well as produce. I investigate how much carbon dioxide contribu- te to life on Earth and to the atmosphere of different planets in the universe. After Earth I introduce the three planets of our inner solar system (Mercury, Venus and Mars). Beside the recorded wind sounds I used the audio material of different planets in the space recorded and published for free usage by NASA.
