With improving weather conditions we hiked up to SOTA DM/SX-014 Lausche/Luž in #Lusatia right on the border from #Germany to the #CzechRepublic (POTA DA-0049 Zittauer Gebirge Nature Park, DLFF-0747 Lausche) and only had rain for about 20 minutes. Strong RFI on the mountaintop made it difficult to work #2m in #fm, but #70cm were nice.

Heavy rain hit my relatives and me while walking in #Lusatia and taking a break for activating SOTA DM/SX-031 Czorneboh. I made it very short on #2m, #70cm in #fm and #20m in #cw. We walked a total of about 7,3 km. #HamRadio #SummitsOnTheAir #sota #truSDX #qrp

An old folk myth from #lusatia says that ducks carry spirits between this world and the next. 🦆

I’ll be performing This Land is Not Mine at Ars Electronica Festival in #Linz, #Austria
7th September at 4pm, Festival University Stage
In this 45 minute #performance, I play my 7 track album about the region of #Lusatia #Lausitz, famous for #opencastmining and home of the #Sorbs #Sorben. The album tells stories of characters in Lusatia as the mines close down. The rivers, the cities, lost villages all have a voice in the compositions.
I do hope you can join me!

Next month will be the premiere of Ouroboros installation at Ars Electronica, an outcome of STARTS #RepairingThePresent residency #CircularRecords with Fara Peluso
Ouroboros speaks to the cyclical nature of material and of human relationships with the environment. The ouroboros is a symbol of renewal and rebirth, the emblem of chaos around a world of imposed order.
As industrialized activity exerts order on the planet, the impulse of the changing climate will impose a global supra-human chaos on human existence. A multi-media installation combining sculpture, sound and video, Ouroborous juxtaposes new material with bodies of human and algae, framed in a landscape transitioning from extraction.
Shown here, a video still from the forthcoming installation, filmed in #Lusatia #Lausitz by Falko Siedel @openframe_s
