This stream will be from the vast allotment WestkreuzGarten where people find peace and quiet in the middle of an entanglement of heavily used road and rail infrastructure.
Soundtrackcity has been studying this area since 2013 through sound walks and other listening practices. The overarching question is how (fast) traffic and large scale infrastructural constructions determine an urban environment sonically in different ways.
The isolated areas of Westkreuz are only accessible by tunnels or bridges or not at all. Each area has its own sonic character and use (or non-use). You can find woodlands, parking lots for lorries, derelict buildings, a grandstand from a former race track, a cemetry, refugee camps, shunting yards, unruly nature and beautiful well-tended alottments.
