Recordist's notes
'Der Leerstand spricht' was a radio live performance / installation in Bad Orb. In front of empty houses of the Hauptstrasse radios were distributing the live voice, speaking texts but also inviting pedastrians to contribute their utopia of the city and the empty spaces: every empty building is a promise. Biaural recording of a walk down the street until a band is playing.
