On the way: by trains, planes, cars, walking through water, building sites and factories. "Traum.Reise." is a symphonical movement through the borderland between "real" and "dreamed" places. Voices are talking: you hear short fragments from interviews where people were asked to tell scenes from their dreams. But you cannot tell dreams from reality. That's similar to the sounds you hear: the most material seems to be "documentary" like the typing on an old typewriter or the crackling of a camp-fire. But nearly all sounds are intensively filtered, formed to rhythms, transposed and symphonically composed. Frank Niehusmann forms the voices and noises with modern audio-software and with older techniques like analogue magnetic tape loops. He is collecting sounds since years during journeys and studio-experiments to work with them in his compositions for concerts, sound-space installations, films and theatre-productions. "Traum.Reise." was specially composed for this radio-broadcast.
