Kraków to Venice in 12 hours maps a journey across Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Slovenia to Italy, visiting Krakow, Katowice, Bielsko-Biala, Ostrava, Brno, Bratislava, Vienna, Graz, Maribor, Ljubljana, Trieste and Venice. The project attempts to capture the unique sonic identities of the 12 cities travelled through, searching for similarities and differences. It acts as a personal and subjective audio travel guide and a clock for the journey, mapping the movement through geographical locations over the passage of time.
The structure of a 12-hour clock forms the basis of the immersive 12 hour-long composition, the times of the recordings are synchronous with the real time of the locations.
* on each hour two locations overlap for a few minutes
** at midday the bells from several locations play at the same time
