Hello hello!
Today we send our greetings from Copenhagen! Copenhagen is a city immersed in water ! Salt water and sweet water mix together in the canals of this beautiful city… Our dear community member Pernille Kjerulff-Hansen is living there and today, she invites us to come for a trip around her hometown! Are you ready to join a very special audio sightseeing with Pernille? You find your ticket to swim in our podcast No. 1 and No. 2!
We think that Pernille’s sound portrait is super inspiring - so lively, so colorful and full of movement!
This is what brings us to today’s task…. We would like to ask you to leave your house and go for a walk where you live. Do you live by the sea? Near a lake? Or at the shores of a stream? Or is there an important fountain in your hometown?
Today’s task is to record the sounds of the waters where you live!
Please share your sound and an image / video with us:
Post a film / recording (around 1 minute in length) with an image on Instagram using the #watersofmyplace #ambientradiogoessonohr #ambientradio #sonohr (like this, we find your work!) OR:
Upload your sounds on Google drive. Please give your track the following title: yourname_day7. Like this we find your work for the weekly remix! OR:
Alternatively, drop an audiofile into our Telegram chat!

Laurie Anderson - one of our favorite artists - created a kind of a lecture or talk during the lockdown - or the slowdown, as she calls it. Lecture No. 1 is called “The River”. Take the time and follow her meandering thoughts, as she follows the stream …
If you are as happy and you live by a well, things become even more interesting … It seems that Gods, and demiGods and Deities of all kinds like to float around waters … Here you find a comprehensive Wikipedia List of Water Deities! There is one in every continent, in every country and one to every well … They protect the well from running dry and they protect us!
Maybe this is why we are “wishing well” to each other?
So this is what we do before leaving you with your task today!
We are wishing you well! And well! And well!
Kiss kiss, love, love … Wish me love, a wishing well to kiss and tell!
