Sound performance In the Woods There is a Bird by German conceptual artist Olaf Nicolai, with with an interpretation by Hayk Karoyi Karapetyan (in partnership with Goethe-Zentrum Eriwan)
The soundtrack is using the radio not as a medium of spreading information, but rather as a source. It makes the relationship between sound and indexikality a subject of discussion.
All over the world different radio correspondents were asked to offer their materials for production, materials they usually call ″Atmos″ and which were recorded during demonstrations, protests and riots. From those materials were chosen particular sequences for the composition. The material was not alienated. It was just looped and cross-faded.
The track aired within the radio program documenta 14 Every Time A Ear Di Soun and the German radio Kultur. It comes also on Vinyl.
It comes with a publication, which is visualizing the concept of the composition as a collage on the one hand, and on the other hand is registering the events of the sixties, whose sounds serve as a basis for this track.
