Search - Christina Kubisch :: Magnetic Flights

Two brand-new pieces from one of the most exciting, active, and relevant members
of the first generation sound artists. Magnetic Flights is a perfect follow-up to
Five Electrical Walks, and is being released at the same time as a collection of
two of Kubisch s unreleased archival pieces. Magnetic Flights is entirely made of
electromagnetic field recordings of international airports and inside airplanes. The
recordings were made by Kubisch on her 2007 travels to and from the airports of
Bucharest, Manchester, Chicago, Seoul, Munich, Amsterdam, Zurich, Frankfurt,
Paris, Lisbon, Berlin, Pisa, Milan, and London. The sounds were not altered
electronically, nor changed in any other way. The only tool, used for part of it, was a
filtering program (DINR). All recordings were made with the help of special sensitive
wireless headphones, by which the aboveground and underground electromagnetic
fields are detected, amplified, and made audible.
