Night Construction is an improvised acoustic image that went on air in the night.  Acoustic atmosphere that was made with physical things in the studio (accordion, paper, books, autumn leaves, xylophone, pipe, marbles, glass, fruit,…) was inspired by texts of known (Danilo Harms, Dostojevski) and unknown authors or participants.  Construction material was on air dematerialised and transformed into a sonic landscape.

To fly between the North Atlantic and the South Atlantic, is normal for grey wings, be they of aluminium or feathers. The grey feathered wings swim, too, with easy; the aluminium ones try to be like home but never quite can. And to hear them, in sound or radio, we need points on land among the vast ocean; the Azores announces itself as ‘Santa Maria Radio’, which the North Atlantic is termed ‘Shanwick’ or ‘Gander’.
And in pure communicative sound, we landlubbers can need to set foot on the 3 square km island of Skomer; and we need to wait until night falls, before the Manx Shearwaters… before they…

Like passengers in a plane, some shearwaters too are locked away—inside the earth.
