The second episode of "Gestirne und Umgebung" is dedicated to air in motion in air.These forty-five minutes of aerial scenes include various flying objects such as hippos or balloons, voices touching wind instruments in a nebulous way, a flute making the air burn, a short trip to the moon or a flight on a carpet. In addition, ten people in different locations have captured the sound of wind in short recordings that can also be heard. The coordinates and dates of these recordings can be found in the source list and are also mentioned by my voice.
