By Martin Kristopher: "When I recently visited Berlin I finally came to realize a field recording I already had in mind when I didn’t even make field recordings. Of course, by then it was more the shapeless idea of creating an arts tribute to an architectural, infrastructural and social landmark of Berlin: The ‘Ringbahn’ (which means the BVG transportation lines S41 and S42, to be exact). This is a full cycle (anti-clockwise) recording of a ride with the S42 on a Saturday afternoon (September 26th 2015, 2pm - 3pm CET). The entire cycle takes 58 minutes, this recording was started at the station ‘Halensee’ and takes until my drop off at ‘Halensee’ one hour later."
