This is an invitation to a group sound walk where we will focus on listening to an (almost) inaudible presence in the city - the river Oker. We will start with a joint tuning exercise, and then as a group we will go for a listening walk along the river in silence, drawing a walking meander of freely accessible paths along the river, crossing bridges and streets where access to the river is not possible. What do we hear when we listen to the river?

Twilight, acoustic minimum will be in two parts - evening and morning edition, we will eavesdrop to the field of sonic minimum of the evening and dive into dawn acoustic territories. Evening will call for slightly tired bodies, but with alert perception, as the approaching night takes away the sense of sight and dawn will awaken still sleepy bodies and dreamy perception - both states are highly imaginative and can encourage expanded perception.
