Hi Max, beautiful photos and location ... I will check it out next spring time Kloster Jerichow it's closer to Stendal and Brandenburg an der Havel ... - possible to visit this monastery with my bicycle because it is only about 120 km from Berlin. - best, Jens

This is indeed what life is all about. Happy cheers to sound adventurers who defy gravity and un-natural human social constraints.

A few years ago I did a workshop with David Hykes.Immediately afterwards I drove hundreds of kilometres to Provence and l'Abbaye du Thoronet where he recorded Hearing Solar Winds.

Phew! Acoustics? Utopia!

Thank you for sharing this. I'll definitely visit when I am in that part of the world.

Here in Oslo, Norway we have a place with about 40-45 seconds reverb. It is the former atelier, now mausoleum and museum of painter Emanuel Vigeland, and is increasingly used for concerts, especially by overtone musicians. You can read about this place here:

I have also played there several times with my own band, and on one occasion we recorded the whole
concert:

Hello Thomas,
Naturally I have included Vigelandsmuseet in the discussion 'Nordic Sound Temples' inside this group 'Sound and Resonance at Power Places'.
Also do check out the Acoustic Power Spot world map with all the entries of this group:

Best,
Skye
