Sound 4
What comes In/Between, good things - LOVE. But here I need to comment. To find sound files on the internet with murder, criminality, blood and disaster is very easy. But Love.. I searched for two days for good sound files in all archives I could find, but almost nothing. At last I found a page with samples for English words maybe as training for Asian people to learn the English language. I cut together a love scene with the words said by both women and men. This sample has also the pauses shortened. The sound was heard from loud speakers outside the Theater festival office.

Sound 5
What comes In/Between, bad things. A radio was playing hidden behind a hedge. A person was zapping between different radio channels and what popped up between music and noise were people talking about criminality. But when you looked behind the hedge there was only a grill.
