Fieldrecording and Modulation
The field recordings originate from Iceland and were recorded between July and October 2002. They include conversations, songs, sounds of water, steam and seismic noises. The fieldrecordings were done by the travelling artist Gabi Schaffner. The modulations were done by the Frankfurt composer Lasse-Marc Riek who carefully modified and rearranged the material.
