places
a series of places ("lieux trouvés") with certain acoustic qualities related to white noise. the piece exists only in its title, which might be interpreted as a suggestion to visit these places and listen.
10a: cloister with fountain-house, Lilienfeld, Austria;
10b: free-way tunnel, Plabutsch, Austria;
10c: ravine, Burgau, Austria;
10d: whitethorn wood, Hiddensee, Germany
How to find these places:
10a: the cloister with fountain-house is part of a famous monastery in Lilienfeld, Austria, which is 90 minutes south-west from Vienna, and 45 minutes south of St. Pölten. The noise from the water-fountain smoothly fills its four covered walks with white noise.
10b: this free-way tunnel, called after the mountain which it crosses ("Plabutsch"), is next to Graz, Austria. If you open the window of your car to listen to the tunnel while passing it, please, breathe as flat as possible.
10c: the ravine, called Burgau-Klamm, you find at the southern end of the lake Attersee, Austria, 50 km north-east of Salzburg. Choose the short footpath of the ravine that ends after a few hundred meters with a waterfall.
10d: Hiddensee is a (car-free) island, next to Stralsund, Germany. You find the small whitethorn wood, on its northern part, 10 minutes walk north from the village Grieben, and east of the lighthouse.

Actually there exist a lot of other places not yet released here. But maybe it is even better if you find or invent your own places!
