in the night Oct. 4th/5th (5 minutes past midnight) |

| 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. |
