Polina Khatsenka
Elbe-Labe sonic hyperobject
Multi-channel recording of a participatory sound event, 60 min.

The multichannel sound composition is based on a listening event in which the participating artists made a simultaneous sound recording of the Elbe River using hydrophones at different points along its course (Špindlerův Mlýn, Pardubice, Kolín, Mělník, Děčín, Ústí nad Labem, Dresden, Magdeburg, Hamburg). The joint effort thus creates a sonic hyperobject that maps the constantly changing flow of the river and concentrates different sonic environments from several parts of the river.

Recordings by Konrad Behr, Denis Fekete, David Hollas, Filip Jakš, Polina Khatsenka, Christoph Knopps, Jan Krombholz, Laura Sophie Meyer, Antje Meichsner, Jonas Peupelmann, Till Seigfried, Eda Štréblů, Pablo Torres, Edwin Zschetzsche.
