Among all of Berlin’s parks, Thielpark may offer the greatest richness and variety of sounds. The area of the park was created as a glacial channel at the end of the last ice age. Water collected in the channels and formed smaller water bodies.
“Melting Soundscapes” are soundscapes from a deep-time ecology hidden andn Thielpark in Germany. Using a microphone as a magnifying lens, generative sound sculpture uses sound samples from the present-dayost sound ecologies or future ice-age sounds to come.
What we hear in this piece is the loud voicelessness of all that had passed through there. The generative sound sculpture aims to tell the story of how the plateau was once full of different living beings and ecology.
Inspired by the idea that echoes still hearable after thousands of years—ones made by bodies who have defied being forgotten—installation aims to etch into the place, tagging a surface behind the gallery walls, and leaves behind a sign that will outlast the exhibition’s presence, like an echo.
