November 2012 As long as I can remember, the vastness of the Eurasian East has always fascinated me. Thus, I seized the opportunity to explore eastern Kazakhstan with a 4WD van in 2011 (April 1st – May 31st). This expedition seemed to be a real chance for making sound recordings of a pristine nature, especially… Continue reading East Kazakhstan

Vessel tracks II
November 2012 I’ve never understood what people makes enthusiastic with patriotism. For me, artificial constructs of nations and national identities make no sense therefore I usually don’t think in structures like this. But sometimes I can’t help and start to find a particular group of people more awful than others – depending on their behaviour. Sometimes… Continue reading Vessel tracks II
