Westhafen by Velvet Something Superdark
Immersive soundscape. Field recordings: Westhafen (West harbour), Berlin, on a windy overcast day in May 2024. Music: Snow*Omen, Improvisation Nr. 9 for two guitars and voice.
Except for the musical part and not in order of appearance:
A freight train passes. A small boat rattles against the mooring. Scrap metal is transported from one scrap heap to another. Trucks drive past. A crane lifts containers. An annoying repetitive electronic signal starts and stops at some point. A rude dude asks me from a distance to switch off the camera that I don't have, as I record with my Zoom H2N. Small waves splash against the harbor basin. And there's the wind...
