on each november weekend (see parallel reading lines at the end), every player has to answer four questions … at the end, one of us (not including me, the winner of the lottery) will get a package of five excellent albums (cds / vinyl, your choice) related to the far reaching horizons of chapter 4. one of these albums will be part of my next Klanghorizonte evening, in late March 2025)

questions:

1. What did really take you by surprise! (Describe one, two, or three „wow“-factors!)
2. How do you experience to listen to an album you can choose freely from the pages you‘ve been reading?
3. What is an interesting connection you haven‘t been conscious about before?
