There are all kinds of warnings, big and small, loud and quiet, from Prague to Wellington and from Beijing to the deepest depths of the ocean. But today, we are facing something of a completely different magnitude. One for the entire planet. A global warning.

Fred Fred (Fred Fred Fred Fred 'Fred') Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred. Fred Fred Fred Fred, Fred Fred Fred Fred, Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred. Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred or Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred. Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred Fred you. Fred, Fred Fred Fred Fred.

- In that case, "Return zero" would not be a very appropriate ending.

The enthusiasm (sometimes referred to as ‘animo’) is not so great to concern ourselves with the animals. Some people collect them, but as a species, we are primarily bringing them to the brink of extinction. That there will be no life without these furry or burly creatures has not really dawned on us. Let the sounds of this adventure penetrate you. Afterwards, we will talk again.

It is a well-known African saying: behind each door, there is another door. But it makes you wonder: what's between those doors? You really don't want to know. Because you don't want to enter this world. Or because you DO want to enter this world and then want to be surprised. Do you listen to the voice of your heart or to the voices in your head? Get in the cart and let yourself be carried away...

We don't know where we came from, nor do we know where we are, or where we are heading. Something to keep in mind when you find yourself with a drunk in an elevator. It really doesn't matter which floor to exit the elevator. If life is a party, we are neither the guest nor the host, but always late.

It was such a day. Again. Trains delayed, the elevator is far too slow, the buzz of my neighbor's chainsaw, my footsteps sounding just a little too loud in the alley outside my back door. Shall I run? Or should I give in? Do I stop at the violin player in front of the station entrance? The intercity is calling, the intercity is calling. Put on your headphones and go on a trip (or not).

Can you crawl through a water tap? Scientific research has shown that people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times. This is not (a) spinal tap, but it might be an aural puncture. You are strongly advised to put your headphones on, blue, blistering barnacles!

Two countries, two cities, two men. And many opinions. By nature, sounds are the same anywhere, yet their voices can be so darn different. In problematic times, wisdom is often difficult to find. Put on your headphones and find yourself on a sliding scale between what sounds right and what is in fact wrong.

In this first Audio Panorama adventure we are taking you on a trip to the East. Be invited to board a pontoon. Be surrounded by birds of all feathers. And don’t forget to take the first train to... Is nightfall already? Oh well, it’s for your ears (and your ears only). Put your headphones on and drift to the auditory dimension.
