“Das grosse Konzert”
reConvert project & Kollektiv fuchs&flaneure

The percussion duo reConvert project and the collective fuchs&flaneure were commissioned by the Basel Biennale for New Music and Architecture ZeitRäume to carry out an audio walk through the St. Johann Quarter in Basel. The working title of the Audiowalk is “The Great Concert”. In it, about 20 participants, together with a sound artist and two percussionists, will trace the sounds and musicality of the quarter and the urban space. How does the city of Basel sound? How do the people who live there change and shape the sound of the neighbourhood?
An approximately one-hour radio play walk turns urban everyday sounds, pre-produced sounds and the musical interventions of the two percussionists into a grand concert.
