Channel 34 derived from a 6-channel sound installation with the title 'in the threshold' – created in the fall of 2017 in Tirana, Albania. It circles around the same questions, though in a different format:
there are thresholds everywhere. intriguing. frightening. enraging.
There are thresholds everywhere. with different meanings and preconditions and impacts for us all. evoking emotions, restrictions and influencing our every step.
.
There are thresholds we dare not cross. and thresholds blocked. rarely we encounter those unfenced, to step over at ease.
And then there are those spaces, which become a threshold after having stepped into. which leave us with a sense of awkward belonging and precarious existence. one of those spaces is public space.

Such a wonderful, lovingly compiled album. I started buying and listening music in a time that only a few magazines provided info about mainly western music.This is such an cultural enrichment and damn good to boot! Every home should have one. Robert Bloemkolk
