Sukanta wrote in an email about the stream / location:
*The mic capsules are attached on both sides of a piece of wood (22x3x2 cm) and it is sitting under a corrugated tin shed on the roof of the flat I live in. Crows are the most commonly heard birds in the stream. But you also hear Indian cuckoo, Indian myna, Sparrows, Kites, the Kingfisher, Black-hooded oriole, Parrots, Spotted doves and other birds in the daytime. At night you can hear owls and**street dogs. There is a playground just beside the house. You hear the kids playing in the afternoon and sometimes in the morning.The houses are very closely built in this part of the city. Talking and other human activities are the dominant feature of thi**s stream. A small food joint has recently opened on the ground floor of the house. They have an exhaust fan almost always running from 11 am to 11 pm. This fan is a very strong element of the stream nowadays and masks lots of small sounds which you can listen to when the fan is not present.*

Sukanta, what is this anouncement and singing about?

This is what is going on on the street. We have municipal election on 19 Dec. And a political party is campaigning for themselves.

I erased the flag from the pic, which was hanging on the side of the vehicle

pardon: thanks

is hanka czech for thanks?

They sell dream, what else?

Election is always a very big thing here. And now they are making new songs, almost all the time campaign on social media. Huge money involved

A small game of football going on

now it's gone

This big tree just beside pond, where lots of bird hang out

The these big trees beside the football ground

And sometimes dish antennas 😊

seems honking has become a bad habit worldwide...

The eastern part where the city is growing now, is basically marsh land. There are not many trees there anyway. And I don't see much effort to grow new ones

Also the marsh land life is dying

and real estate projects within cities. so it's important to keep passages and paths for animals and plants

There is a meeting going on, lots of crows

It is usually busy in the evening

for thinking plurality..

aesthetically, politically, spatially..

this is the stream to think with!

more dreams passing by...

the same dream came back !

hope for that they don't consider that something that has to be modernized...

people and others..

to contest it

and to activate it

Listening in with my listening/recording workshop participants during our lunch break

But I rember my mom always opening the window, in order to listen...

The street lights are on now, it's getting dark

at least here we are presented with the technics of political speech, the machinery of flight - we witness it taking place

also the gaps in it - the in-betweens - when other organisms, ways of life.. reassert themselves - crows, dogs, people without megaphones..

this feels to me like a soundworld which operates as a commons, albeit with asymmetries, all kinds of exclusions, imbalances of access..

'dissonances and solidarities'

i lost the stream (maybe just me?) - adding: fragilities

Sorry about this
