June 29th, 1985 in the Harbour of Kiel, Germany, recorded by NDR, Kiel
The composition The Docks employs the horns of the ships, which are
present in the harbour as its source. The individual parts are written
in a simple graphic notation and designate entrances, durations and
playing modes in minutes and seconds.
Some improvising is required. Parameters of the composition are only
durations, rhythms and density of the sounds of the ships' horns, because
the pitch is defined by the ships and their crews who participate at the
concert.
25 ships in the harbour of Kiel took part in the concert, the concert
was broadcasted live from 12:05 to 12:30. The concert was brought about
through an iniative by Rolf Langebartels
who too was the assistant director during the concert and organized its
execution.
