Orchester des Wandels in the Wadden Sea

A rather special spectacle of nature: the rhythm of the tide reveals a sandbank for just an hour in the Wadden Sea off the German North Sea coast, Europe's largest breeding ground for migratory birds.

On a sunny September day in 2022, the ALDEBARAN set sail to reach this very sandbank. On board were a cello quartet from Orchester des Wandels, a film crew and Hamburg sound engineer Volker Zeigermann. Despite wind speeds of up to 60 km/h, he managed to make an original audio recording with virtually no background noise.

The aim of the campaign was to draw attention to the ongoing destruction of nature caused by marine pollution and climate change. Contaminated silt from the ever-deeper dredged Elbe is being dumped here illegally, depriving numerous bird species and marine animals of their habitat. Do we want to look on indifferently as the greed of large corporations continues to destroy our planet?

Be inspired by the music, the water and the birds: because what you love you should protect!
