Recordist's notes

Marcos takes us to his favourite place in Hamm… we are in the “Kurpark” of the spa “Bad Hamm”, sitting at a bench at the end of the pond, listening to the sounds around us… the people here, says Marcos are walking quietly and more slowly than elsewhere as if they were at a sacred place… and he adds a story, that once he has listened here at this place to familiar sounds from home… Marcos führt uns an seinen liebsten Ort in der Stadt… im Kurpark von “Bad Hamm”, am Ende des Teiches… und er erzählt uns, dass er einmal hier ungewöhlichen und bekannten Klängen zugehört hat…. Marcos da Costa Melo kommt aus Recife, Brazilien, kam in den 1990er Jahren nach Deutschland und ist seit 2005 Geschäftsführer von FUgE, und Eine-Welt-Promotor (Ruhr Ost/ Soest) http://www.fuge-hamm.de
