| 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. |
