The Transient

Bremen trams reimagined by Gregory Kramer.

"The words "Spirit" and "Lost", from this location's' three-word address, resonate with the original recording. Despite being from a tram station, the recording has a somewhat desolate feel. It could be late at night when there are few people around and spirits are wandering, lost. This was my inspiration for the piece. Do we hear evidence of lost spirits? Is the listener disoriented or lost, perhaps having imbibed spirits? Has a lost "Handbag" (the third location-word) been abandoned at the station, a mute witness to the late night scene? The soundwork depicts an uneasy and otherworldly space."
