The tour begins with a gong. First, however, the driver of the Silver Opel combination truck introduces herself: “We will drive through Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen for 50 to 55 minutes,” says Antje in emphasized factual style. “You will hear sounds that are attributed to a healing effect – mixed with pre -guided interviews with employees with employees of mobile care and music therapists.” Spherical sounds follow on the recorded gong, then a male off voice speaks with Hessian singing. Sunk deep in the back seat, we hear from singing bowls and vibrations. “The blood moves. It brings loosening in the joints,” says the off-voice. Now the car is in motion and bends on the Schaumainkai, which was extremely busy on this late summer Saturday afternoon. “Your world – an audio -ike” is the acoustic district tour designed by Marc Behrens and Hannes Seidl, which is accompanied by the exhibition “Yes, We Care. The New Frankfurt and the question of the common good in the museum”. “Although we are both musicians, we are concerned with the healing effects of sounds for the first time,” says Seidl. In the beginning, Behrens ’idea was to adapt the medium of Audiowalk for longer distances in corona apandemia. For a piece that deals with the music therapy use of sound frequencies, Behrens and Seidl seemed ideal for a leisurely car tour: Slumbling and encapsulation on all levels. Audiotour in Frankfurt: No person on Lerchesberg “That makes me something. I am mega relaxed. Much better than with a joint!” “As if you had taken a tablet,” says another, while we turn into the Dreieichstrasse. On the Darmstädter Landstrasse there is once again thick traffic. In a pace, which is unusually moderate for this failure, it goes up the Sachsenhauser mountain, accompanied by sounds and o tones from the trunk. Shortly before the city forest, we turn into the Bischofsweg – a cobblestone street on Lerchesberg, which is lined with fine real estate and high -priced cars, this settlement: no pedestrian, nowhere. When driving past, we lose ourselves in meditative counting from Porsches and Bentleys, while it continues to sound spherically. Then we stop suddenly and the driver window opens. Melodic twittering birds and engine noises landing landing with sun rays and a pleasant breeze penetrate into the interior. “You just heard the second chapter,” says Antje. “Chakras” was his title. We are now continuing in the Lerchesberg settlement, which is on the airport’s entry lane. Because of their altitude, aircraft noise is particularly strong here.

Actually, the dramaturgy of the hearing piece is coordinated with the locations in the south of Frankfurt. But you have to be very interested in the therapeutic effect of sound bowls and hide the meditative effect of the accompanying compositions in order to bring the interview excerpts into a meaningful connection with the streets that pass on. Behrens and Seidl admit that a relaxed leakage is part of the concept of this sound tour. From the specially cast drivers, they hear that the guests reacted very differently to the test arrangement: “Some doze away.” After we have again reached the more prose -wing part of Sachsenhausen, we go via the Stresemannallee into the home settlement built between 1927 and 1934 after plans by Ernst May and two employees. The “Neue Frankfurt”, which is closed on the outside, turns out to be an amazingly large area full of courtyards and small avenues when driving through. And it seems revitalized: two young people meet in front of a house entrance, and a little later we are suspicious by young passers -by. When the car stops again and the driver’s window opens, there is a steady leaf noise. Music plays a major role in outpatient care. A Silesian folk song has just been done. “Our conversations showed that music plays a major role in outpatient care,” reports the driver. So employees listened to mobile care services to get down after work. However, it will also be sung and played together with the clients to take time for each other. More on the Silesian songs selected on the topic of Behrens and Seidl, a reminiscence of the place is meanwhile: After the Second World War, many people fled from the former German eastern areas in the home settlement, says Seidl. “The lady who sings is the Frankfurt artist Helga Franke,” adds Behrens. As a child, she fled from Silesia. We meanwhile start the return trip. While the Kennedyallee and Gartenstraße pass the Kennedyallee outside, the spherical sound carpet leads us to review the short, dense tour through an amazingly diverse district internally. 55 minutes after the introductory gong we reach the museum site again. Shortly after the exit, the rushing car traffic and the church bells, which are striking everywhere, effectively released us from any meditative sinking.
