Jan said it is important to be quiet here in public, unlike from what he experienced in Belgrad where people just put their loudspeakers outside their windows. Returning from this conference on sound and music in public space we sat in the train and I pulled out my small loudspeakers to listen to some Balkan music and Cohen and Elvis. I smiled at people and they were swinging and swaying to the music and tapping their fingers. Especially one old lady was almost singing when I played Elvis’ ‚Falling in love with you’. Then a young man sat down in front of us and he joined in with a wonderful voice and it turned out that he sings in musicals since 10 years and played a major role in Sound of Music in Copenhagen. The weird thing was that not one person made a comment or thanked us when we all left the train in Copenhagen. I found that very strange and am sure that in Vienna or Munich people would have started a conversation or at least would have made a remark. I think Nicoletta who is originally from Rumania was quite happy about this little performance and filmed us singing and swinging.
