“Nassenheide is a small village located 40 km north of central Berlin. A sometimes busy traffic junction determines the local soundscape: The main railway line from Berlin to the ports on the Baltic Sea cuts across a local road which is a byway for trucks driving from east to west, maybe headed towards Hamburg or Rotterdam.

Countless times, every day and every night, a signal bell starts ringing at the crossing gate. The gate closes – cars and trucks approach and stop. The traffic noise is interrupted and the soundscape suddenly changes: Birds, muffled music from cars, idling engines, occasional voices, cicadas. Finally the train passes, creating an acoustic climax.

Over the years, we have been exposed to these sounds which have changed with the modernisation of the railway tracks: Rhythmic sound clusters of train wheels on steel, monotonous sounds of tires rumbling over the tarmac road and the rail tracks, pop music from car radios (Peter Fox forever), the signal bell changing from analogue to digital (2thousandfucking12).

Time to give some sounds back. And add Hong Kong sounds to the local soundscape, create a mix of Nassenheide and Hong Kong sounds.”  Ruth Waldeyer and Gregor Hotz

納森海德是一個在柏林中部以北40公里的小村莊。時而忙碌的交通匯點決定了它的在地聲境。主鐵道從柏林伸延到波羅的海的港口，越過納森海德; 它是貨車從東到西，向漢堡或是鹿特丹進發的必經之路。

無數次，每天、每晚，訊號鈴在十字路口的閘門前響起。閘門關上，車子和貨車走近並且停下。交通的噪音介入使聲境突然改變：鳥兒、車内隱約的音樂、引擎、時而發出的人聲、蟬聲。火車終於越過了道路，創造了一次聽覺上的最高點。

這麽多年以來，我們接觸到這些隨著火車線路現代化而改變的聲音：火車輪子踐過鋼鐵，那富節奏而集中的聲音；輪胎越過柏油碎石和火車軌，那單調的隆隆聲；從車上收音機傳來的流行音樂（Peter Fox forever）、從類比到數位的訊號鈴轉變（2thousandfucking12）。

是時候找回一些聲音。本地聲境加上香港的聲音，創作納森海德和香港的混音。
