Volksgarten

Ein Podcast von Gabriela Gordillo, Sara Piñeros und maiz für Sounding Linz - ein projekt der Linzer Klangwolke 2020.

"To listen is not to simply know where I am on the visual map that hangs outside the park gates. It is to experiece where I am in the park of my own listening. It makes the park real and present for me in the lived reality of my inter-subjective self." - Listening to Noise and Silence, Salomé Vogelin
During the Klangwolke 2020, maiz organized a sound walk (Klangspaziergang) at Volksgarten, proposing the visitor to explore the space with the eyes closed.
Volksgarden encloses a soundscape of polyphonic rhythms in the middle of the city, bounded to the complexities of its transcultural character, that makes it representative in Linz.
While closing the eyes, the ear discovers a world of stimulus that result in a new topology of the space, in the imagination. In this podcast you can experience Volksgarten through its sounds and the listening of others.
(Using headphones is recommended).
