"A unique CD-series featuring a stroll around the market in Hongkong, the rustling of a cherry tree and a washing machine doing its cycle - explores the noise of the world." In 2007 Tobias Lehmkuhl wrote this in the Süddeutsche Zeitung in his extensive review about the Séries Sonores, an inpetto audio production which we now offer online instead of on CDs. "At a first glance it does not seem to feature music or literature but unimportant recordings of everyday sounds. As to how the sounds of the world become a composition and if the attentive listener hears an animated scene, is a question that soon arises," Tobias Lehmkuhl continues. "And that is exactly what makes these tracks so very special: they force you to keep listening. Listening to the recording of, for example, a thunderstorm or buzzing bees, one always hears a variety of the smallest fading or exploding of sounds. It actually forces you to listen to our environment. If you are unable to observe this you will be unable to really understand musical composition. If you don't appreciate the "Hochhörndlinger Hütte", you won't have an ear for the "Alpensymphonie" by Richard Strauß." (SZ literary supplement 09.10.2007) Séries Sonores is consists of sound recordings by a.o.: David Kammerer, Mario Gauthier, Marc Parisotto, Wolfgang von Schweinitz, Stefan Gagstetter, Sandeep Bhagwati, Uli Aumüller. Also we added a selection of essayistic and documentary radio programs made by inpetto filmproduktion.
