You Are Here! – Episode 5

Download it: MP3 | AAC | OGG | OPUS

At its close, the podcast series «You Are Here!» opens up new perspectives: for the last episode, thirteen musicians, artists, composers, journalists, scholars, and philosophers answer the question «Where are we right now?»

Their responses are pondering, dreaming, perplexed, demanding, and utopian. They are like the pebbles in Hansel and Gretel: they set small markers and point the way. Where it leads, however, no one knows.

The podcast series «You Are Here!» is a musical position statement. Where are we right now? Socially? Artistically? With our mind? How do we (re)connect musically?
