Hochallee, Hamburg
from Hochallee, Hamburg by Thomas Koner
about
I created this piece in Hamburg for a cycle of psychogeographic field recordings, of which parts have been published as La Barca CD & Vinyl in 2009. Hochallee, Hamburg is a previously unreleased part of the cycle.
La Barca refers here to the solar barque, or sun boat, which passes through the realms of the underworld (Duat according to Egyptian mythology) each night to reappear in the east every morning. During two years of my travels I tried to create a sonic cartography of the places I visited.
I made the recordings for this track in 2009. The few days I spent in Hochallee belong to the most precious and influential experiences of my life, and the city of Hamburg, providing the background for this, is still glowing.
