Good morning watery queens and kings, princesses and princes from the Sea!
How are you doing? Ok, we admit, yesterday, it was quite a party at the well … The deities danced, it got very late, actually, we observed the sun rising over the sea …
So we admit we feel we had a hard night out… But there is one simple and very effective remedy that puts everything back into place - a jump into the cold morning waters! Here is to ice-bathers all around the world! We know that you like to travel - so wintery Murmansk has an ice hut to offer to passionate ice bathers! Did you know that there is a society for outdoor swimmers - and actually they have a lot of tricks to make an icebather out of everyone!
Ok, you are right - we got diverted once more from the work we are going to do today …
Actually, after our refreshments, we should hurry up and get ready to receive our guests! Today, we are very honored to have Leanne Morrison, Jan Hendrik Brüggemeier and Thomas Bristow here with us - and their really special piece called “Salmon Tales”! They are coming to see us all the way from Australia and now, they are with us at the Sonohr festival!
Imagine how it is to be a fish … In some water bodies, you might face a difficult life - and so would you if you were grown in a fish farm. This is what “Salmon Tales” is all about: The audio piece seeks to expand the possibilities of corporate environmental accounting through polyphonic communal storytelling. The voices of multiple stakeholders, including community, annual corporate reports, news coverage and environmental recordings retell their own version of a series of environmental events involving the Tasmanian salmon farming industry. Salmon Tales is not a tale, but a more genuine environmental account of what happens really.
Sometimes, sound is a more accurate representation of reality than the (economic) data we all consider as true?
Today, we want you to get real and real close to the waters that matter in your life. Go out and observe - what signs of aquatic life can you observe?
We can assure you that there is a lot going on underwater - even in deepest winter times - simply turn around a stone and see!
So here we go with today’s task:
As you might have understood, we always change our perspective - and now it is time for another close-up of the waters you love! Try to record the fish movement, the droplets, the tiny animals hiding, the icicles covering the rim of the stream … Try to record a close-up of the water body you chose!
