about

'a direction out there – readwalking (with) thoreau' double CD and the score are available from Edition Wandelweiser. www.wandelweiser.de/_e-w-records/_ewr-catalogue/ewr2109-10.html

A direction out there – readwalking (with) Thoreau, a pocket size book of the prepared text, the score and two essays is available from MA BIBLIOTHEQUE (mabibliotheque.cargo.site/Emmanuelle-Waeckerle-A-DIRECTION-OUT-THERE-READWALKING-WITH-THOREAU)

The double CD released in June 2021 brings together the four first contrasting interpretations of an open score and prepared text based on David Henri Thoreau’s transcendental essay about walking (1851).

These are available here (track 1 to 4), followed by a few more 'directions out there'. Track 6 to 8 are recordings of readwalking performances at Klangraum 2021 in Düsseldorf in Aug 2021. The others are recordings and mixes of readwalking outside that I am adding as I receive them.

“Readwalking”, two words brought together to describe a simultaneous act of reading as walking, of walking as reading, of sounding a text about walking, step by step, one word calling the other, following one’s senses, like Thoreau.

‘Wherever a (wo)man separates from the multitude, and goes her own way in this mood, there indeed is a fork in the road’. Life without principle, (Henry David Thoreau, 1863)
