Af sted
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009Here comes a big fat anthology of writings, images, graphic scores, etc., AF STED, to be released by Gyldendals on Friday 7th September in Copenhagen. 1750 grams, 280 pages, 104 contributors, edited by Morten Søndergaard.
Under the semi-pastoral brief ‘Lyden af en høj’, I contributed PUBLIC ADDRESS, a text prompted by my interest in the public-warning sirens broadcast in Denmark each year on the first Wednesday in May. I started collecting recordings this year in May, but due to a hefty storm over large parts of the country on the day of the annual siren-test, the results were varied, so I decided to continue collecting recordings next year … you can listen to some samples here.
