Sound Ride is a series of site-specific, moving sonic and visual interventions that transform the familiar act of riding a bike and incorporate wind-generated instruments.
Engaging in a conscious sonic intervention sharpens the senses. The familiar becomes unusual: eyes observe more keenly, ears attune to subtleties, and the mind becomes more active and alert. The essence of Sound Ride lies in this intentional shift of perception — using wind-generated sound, created through one’s own movement, as a lens to „see“ the landscape and its inhabitants anew. The simple act of a human body consciously moving through space, actively sensing and responding to the environment, generates a resonance that extends beyond the immediate moment.
The most recent sound rides took place in Germany, Japan and Vietnam. The sound ride in this video took place in Weimar, Germany during Somaphon Festival 2025. Many thanks to the great support of the Somaphon team that make it happen. We feel honoured to do this sound ride in Weimar, where the legacy of Geothe, Schiller, Weimar Republic can still be experienced.
