The context of the exhibition was clearly defined: visitors are encouraged to become sensitive to the complex sounds of our landscape. By listening attentively, the exhibition takes us through a sonic journey that encourages critical engagement with questions of agriculture, biodiversity and their loss.
In this context, challenging questions arise: Who dominates the soundscape? Which voices are diverse and multifaceted? And which ones may have already been lost? What does it sound like when artists enter into a musical dialogue with the natural sounds of the landscape?
The panel discussion offered a brief insight into the world of sound and encouraged us to open our minds to the beauty and complexity of our surroundings. It is an invitation to listen deeper, think further and be inspired by the magic of sounds.
Festival beer tapping
When asked which sounds you would most like to hear more often, Dr. Schulte to stage the amusing transition to the traditional festival beer tapping on the occasion of the start of the season. “The hiss of a fresh beer,” she emphasized with a smile. So Thomas Schwarzenberger lent a hand under the watchful and competent eyes of Victoria Schubert-Rapp from the Karg brewery in Murnau and successfully tapped the festival beer brewed at the beginning of January. And everyone visibly enjoyed the new creation of a tasty festival beer. A hearty snack was also prepared. The wedding band from Munich with Evi Keglmaier on the tuba provided the musical setting.
