Sound Walk in the Summer with Christof Zürn

Today is a special episode of the podcast, not just because of the 50th episode anniversary but because there will be no guests today. Instead, you'll be immersed in a unique sound walk experience, a journey of sound I recorded in July in Italy. This is not just a regular episode; it's a sonic adventure.
Open your mind and listening brain because, as we learned in the last episode with Professor Nina Kraus, you can only hear what you know.
But now let's get on our trip or, better yet, the sound walk of the summer.
Every two years, my wife and I, visit the Art Biennale of Venice. It's not just a visit, it's a learning experience, an inspiration, a ritual about creativity in the broadest sense. It's about un-learning, re-learning, and encountering new things that make you rethink. And this time, I brought my recording device with me on a sound walk through the Biennale of Venice.
Be my guest while I was walking with my ears and microphone open on this unique sound walk.
