ERDENKLANGSTRASSE II - VOICES

The music of various birds, a cappella, unplugged, about 71 minutes.

You hear concert-like sound images from our pastures, meadows and forests, in an excellent dynamically unlimited recording quality. While listening to these two CDs at the "Erdenklang Street" - outdoors near the building of the record company from a 80 meter long hornbeam hedge using 8 speakers - the eyes become receptive of the beauty of a flower, the sense of touch for the softness of moss, the sense of smell for the purity of the air and the sense of taste for the berries, nuts, herbs and chestnuts.

In other words: we make the stressed senses receptive to the gift of peacefulness, which then allows us to find inner peace and to let our soul wander. It takes us away from the noise of civilization back to nature, to peacefulness. It is a path to selfdiscovery. We discover our five senses all over again because our ears are opened. We see the aspen, hear the faint whisper of its leaves, the voices of the animals, the brook, the wind. Experience nature in nature! An aura with the songs of birds, a part of the natural environment, reaches the ear via technology, combined

A paradox? Competition between technology and nature? No, it is the media rendition of that what we could have heard if we could record nature with our five senses while being totally free from our daily affairs. We are no longer capable, we need technology to get back what we have lost. Maybe the time will come when we no longer need this technology, then it will have served it’s purpose.

Hear the music of birds, even at home Experiencing "nature" is a treasure that is now only available to a few people. "Nature pure" does not include people, experiencing nature "as a big business" is no experience, experiencing nature as a group not only destroys the environment, but is also impossible due to the presence of others. The answer is to bring the most important effects into our own four walls, in our "cave" in which we can abandon ourselves to the all of the moods without interruption: The ambience of nature.

Using this we can untie ourselves from the hectic of the daily routine as we please. In addition, the aura of the natural environment also works in your car as a traveling companion. We drive more peacefully and more relaxed, the natural wall of protection blocks external disturbances. And an evening walk with a walkman and the songs of birds leads us to a completely unreal, virtual world; because what is seen and what is heard no longer fit together, but the thoughts allow themselves to be isolated, we can imagine ourselves to be in any other world or time.
