ABOUT THIS ALBUM


Album Notes
31 days. 31 new compositions. 400 Kilometers across Switzerland. On Foot.

In 31 days in the summer of 2005, Craig Shepard walked 250 miles across Switzerland. Every day, he composed a new piece, wrote it down, and performed it outdoors in a public space such as a bridge, public square, intersection or mountaintop. The pieces are intended to frame the everyday sounds of the place in which they are heard. The performances on this CD were recorded in the work spaces of the performers. Careful listening will reveal the everyday sounds of these spaces, including furnaces, crows, traffic, fish, and distant church bells. When played on home stereo equipment, they will frame the everyday sounds of the listener's home.

Diese CD beinhaltet Aufnahmen von Stücken aus dem Projekt _Zu Fuss_ von 2005, in dem Craig Shepard in 31 Tagen 400 Kilometer durch die Schweiz gewandert ist. Jeden Tag komponierte er ein neues Stück, schrieb es auf und führte es an öffentlichen Orten wie Brücken, Plätzen, Strassenkreuzungen und Berggipfeln auf. Die Stücke sind gedacht, die alltäglichen Klänge einzurahmen. Die Aufführungen dieser CD sind in den Ateliers der Aufführenden aufgenommen. Die alltäglichen Klänge dieser Ateliers, wie Heizung, Krähen, Verkehr, Fische und ferne Kirchenglocken sind zu hören. Wenn die CD auf der Stereoanlage abgespielt wird, werden die Stücke die alltäglichen Klänge des Zuhauses des Zuhörers einrahmen.
