Ben Bertrand Music for a walk

Looking for a lion in Dudenpark with Belgian bass clarinetist and composer.

music walk, DUDEN PARK

"I composed this piece ‘Music for a walk’ thinking about the strolls I like doing in my neighbourhood. The beginning point of my composition was the chant of the frogs that you can hear during the spring in the Wiels swamp. It made me think about the sounds that one could hear at Duden Park. Then, I composed some music that could link those two atmospheres." 
— Ben Bertrand
