As a way to make an audible measurement of the body in relation
to architectural spaces I have made numerous recordings of myself
walking up stairways. By using binaural microphones to give a realistic
audio representation of the body space of the stairway, these recordings
serve as first-person document of physical experience and a calibration
of that experience to the space where it occurred. In
Measure for Measure these recordings are used as the source
audio material to construct a composition for the stairway space
of the Parochialekirche. The source recordings come from a variety
of sources from Berlin and elsewhere; some of the recordings are
left unadorned, others are processed and reworked.
