Recordist's notes

An evening of poetry and music at the Alevi Cultural Centre… as we slip in, a song accompanied on the Sas, then a poem in Turkish and German: Nazim Hikmet’s “Curriculum Vitae”… it’s almost the end of the event; the mics are “playing up”; adding an eerie effect to “Nazim’s voice” resounding from the lyrics… Ein Lyrikabend im Alevitischen Kulturzentrum… ein Lied begleitet auf der Sas; dann ein Gedicht auf Türkisch und Deutsch: Nazim Hikmet’s “Lebenslauf”… die Veranstaltung geht schon beinahe dem Ende entgegen, und die Microphone “verabschieden sich”… “Nazim’s Stimme” hallt aus seinen Versen unheimlich wieder… see all recordings archived: https://archive.org/details/Nirgends_besser_als_897
