As a sound designer I work on audio performances, audio walks and theatre pieces with a focus on interaction and public space.
Trautes Heim – Glück allein
by Katrin Bretschneider
Audio walk through a residential area in the affluent suburbs of Bremen (Ganderkesee). Katrin Bretschneider sheds light on home ownership and the desires associated with it—affectionately, critically, and with a biographical perspective.

Kein Schiff wird kommen
by Katrin Bretschneider
Where ships from all over the world once came and went in Bremen is now home to Überseestadt, one of the largest urban development projects in Europe. The radical change is made tangible with sound collages and original sounds. The participatory audio performance opens up new perspectives and personal spaces for reflection. Which myths and stories do we want to continue to tell and which do we want to re-evaluate? How do we deal with radical change? How does the history of a place influence its future?
The further development of the performance into an audio walk can be heard here permanently. In German only.
