Haus So Grau






Haus So Grau

Today's track is a document of the beautiful voices of Sproutbau residents Aneka and Irena. Irena runs Sproutbau's singing class and Aneka is one of the key organisers of the project. The words were adapted by Aneka and Irena from a poem taken from a book of old German ballads found in a former residents flat. The lyrics deal with the emergence of new life from the grey of the disused concrete. The melody was also improvised today by the pair. It was suprisingly easy to realise and record and features the astouding reverb that many of the rooms here have. Thanks to the singers for their inspiration. Its a fitting tribute to the first week of Sproutbau.
