Sound of the helicopter, flying above the Old Town. The helicopter was comming back several times with the load and the soundlevel became unbereable. I saw the body of the machine just for several moment when it crossed the sky between the roofs. The richness of the sonic spectere was amanzing and i understand why Stockhousen used four helicopters for his string quartet. The memories of the Russian occupation when the murmur of the Antonov airplains woke up us emerged uncounsciously. Strange is that birds stared to sing immediatelly after the sound was fading out. I recorded on the yard of the Skolska gallery.
