Konzerthaus Berlin

Sound of Berlin

What does Berlin sound like? The orchestra of the Konzerthaus Berlin took on the challenge to melodize typical sounds from its own city. The musicians impressively demonstrated that the preparation of a Currywurst sausage, squealing urban trains and the engine noise of an old Trabi car from former Eastern Germany can actually sound quite musical.

What is noise, what is sound, what is music? The experimental project we were fortunate enough to be able to conceive and to realize on behalf of the Konzerthaus Berlin, gave rise to many big questions during the course of its creation. The beauty of it is, that in the end these questions did not need answering. The result speaks for itself!

All clips are available at the Konzerthaus’ Youtube-Channel. And for those who want to find out how a crazy idea turned into an awesome piece of musical soundscape, we have the Making-Of right here.

Maria Willer

is music journalist and was formerly, before founding the “3B-Produktion GmbH”, editor and presenter at the radio broadcaster “Klassik Radio” since 2003. Apart from her journalistic activities she has founded the “Musikkindergarten Hamburg”. Before working for the radio she was trainee as print journalist. In this way Maria Willer’s train of medial thinking spreads from the reader to the listener as well as to a film audience. Important for her is that stories reach out to human beings – whichever media is used.

Bernhard von Hülsen

Hat vor Gründung der „3B-Produktion GmbH“ ein knappes Jahrzehnt für die „AVE Gesellschaft für Fernsehproduktion“ Magazine, Talks, Dokumentationen, Reportagen und zunehmend junge Formate produziert. Vor seiner Produzentenlaufbahn promovierte er als Kollegiat der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft zu deutsch-französischem Kulturtransfer und volontierte am Deutschen Historischen Museum.
