Sound art in Berghain: A feeling that you would run over

One enters the room and learns the whole body, what has been lacking one for so long. The sound in the hall of the Berghain surrounds the listener, as they would be in the inner core of a large instrument.

The window of the boiler hall were uncovered, so that light penetrates the otherwise dark room, the not should be aware of in each angle soundproof.
