this edition, entitled 'free port', has been produced in hamburg, 
germany by engineer, writer and sound artist (and brother of regular 
contributor d.l.lutz), k. lutz. producer's notes:

"Sound sources: exclusively own material, unedited and unprocessed; 
recorded around 2010 in the free trade zones of the port of hamburg, germany

"About a decade ago, the largest port in germany was still largely a 
restricted free trade zone, not open to the public. The area always 
seemed to have an aura of subtle mystery – such a vast space, partially 
crammed with archaic industry, partially totally deserted, seated right 
in the center of a metropole densely inhabited by else 2 million people.

"Giant gantry cranes in shipyards, uncountable channels, dry docks, 
ferries for port workers whirling the water, mile-long jetties, hundreds 
of bridges of all size, busy shunting yards, massive warehouses at 
quays, huge ship-to-shore cranes, automated container terminals with 
walls of stacked rusting boxes, in between bars in fishtrawler bellies, 
seamen’s missions, and the silhouette of 400 meter long ships passing by 
in the distance. On the one hand a peaceful harmony of the river and its 
organic shores populated by seabirds, the slow human-like tide rhythm of 
rising and falling water, on the other hand contrasted with the cold 
aesthetics of today’s rationalized and rushed globalized logistics. And 
despite its inhumane, modern touch it keeps carrying the sentimental air 
of the harbour being a window on the world.

"Attracted by this, I started exploring the area on early mornings and 
late nights, from the land and the water side equipped with a bicycle 
and small motor boat, invisibly hiding from customs, and captured the 
sound snippets you will hear in this montage." - k. lutz, 2020.07
