Programme notes
To Folkmar Hein
Most of the sounds heard here were given to me by Folkmar Hein, who commissioned this work. These sounds, which he recorded himself, can be construed as having no specific meaning. Would it be possible to integrate them into a larger project aimed at evoking the very long forest walks Hein is regularly taking around Berlin
