John Cage said, “A sound is perceived as disturbing – unless you listen to it.”
R. Murray Schafer went even further in 1971 in his study The Tuning of the World and recognized the sounds of our everyday environment as essential for the well-being and even the health of human beings. To improve and stabilize the quality and balance of these regular consonances of soundscapes (sonic landscapes) is the main concern of the worldwide movement of “acoustic ecology”.
The explo-soundwalks are relaxed excursions into the varied “symphony of everyday life”. The group undertakes a listening journey through various interesting sounding places around the exploratorium.
The soundwalks take place before one of our concerts and will be scheduled so that all participants are back in the exploratorium right in time for listening to the concert.
Dates until January 2021
Thu 25.6. | Sun 13.9. | Sun 22.11. | Fri 29.1.2021
The soundwalk takes place in spite of Corona. However, registration with the facilitator is required until the night before.

Since organizers are currently obliged to keep lists of their visitors, address and telephone number must be given with the registration. This data will be kept for four weeks in order to be able to trace chains of infection if necessary and to inform those affected. After four weeks this data will be deleted.
