| Soundcloud has marked the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall by featuring a piece of experimental music from Berliner Mauer called ‘The Berlin Wall of Sound’ which pays tribute to all those that died trying to cross the concrete border that divided the German capital from 1961 to 1989.
“The Berlin Wall of Sound is an acoustic reconstruction of the Berlin Wall,” reads the description. “Its duration of 7:32 minutes reflects the time sound needs to travel the 155 kilometers length of the Berlin Wall. Its sound wave’s shape mirrors the wall of concrete and its watchtowers. There are no comments – the tags depict the victims and mark where they were killed."
The haunting piece contains quotes from some of the former leaders of the GDR (German Democratic Republic) and has replaced the comments section with a short tribute to each of the 120 people that were killed trying to cross the wall. |
