Klangschaften

Yesterday evening I had my matura-presentation. The Matura-Project is the final project you do as a high school student and which counts like any other mark in your degree paper.

In the past weeks, I've worked quite hard on these two "Klangschaften". The word can be translated to "soundscapes", but that is already a thing. Klang means sound and the term "Klangschaft" should make an association with the word "Landschaft" which means landscape. The project itself is also restricted to two landscapes, one is my school which I attend at the moment "Kantonsschule Wettingen", and the other one is based on  Baden, the town I live in.

All the sounds, without any exception, are recorded at these two locations, then edited in the Music-DAW Ableton Live 9.

You can watch both of the projects in This YouTube Playlist.

And feel free to share them with others who might be interested in such projects.

More video footage of our school for the school-news!

Here I have another video with some drone footage of our school garden. Last week the news guys from our school asked me if I could take some shots for them:

Other than that there was not so much going on this week. I had some presentations in school and quite a busy week learning for exams. But soon we'll have summer holidays and I will have a lot of free time again :D

Video! Creux du Van

Hey, guys! I've spent quite some time editing the video about Creux du Van! Please enjoy ;)

Creux du Van

A long weekend with a lot of stuff to do! Besides loads of schoolwork, my parents, a good friend and I went hiking to Creux du Van. We took an early train on Friday, first to Zürich to pick my friend up and then via Neuchâtel to Noiraigue. It's a really tiny but pretty village in the Jura, the mountains in the north of Switzerland.

There we started our hike, and we were not alone! Many others also walked up that mountain to see the spectacular view! It's a natural wonder, The Creux du Van is a natural rocky cirque. Many years ago it was created by natural water erosion from a local glacier and still looks magnificent!

I need to add that it was also the perfect place to take pictures with my drone! My friend also had a drone with him,  and we filmed a lot. I've still got some editing to do, but I'm sure that the video will be awesome :D

Drone Videography in Zürich!

Today I met up with Jonathan, a really cool dude who I met on our skiing holidays in the mountains. There we already went drone flying and thought we could do that again, this time in warmer weather :)

So we went to Zürich for the day to film some stuff and it was so much fun! Unfortunately I got some of the settings wrong, but I hope I can correct that in post production. I'll share it with you if it's finished ;)

But here's some pictures from up above the city :D
