(np) The Encounter

The Soundwalk Collective's *The Encounter* features recordings from the 
Schwarzwald, Germany in 2010. In 1967, Paul Celan visited Martin 
Heidegger in Todtnauberg, located in the Black Forest where the 
philosopher worked. The subsequent poem written from this meeting, 
"Todtnauberg", became an intellectual milestone of post-war Europe. Jean 
Luc Nancy thinks about this meeting, but instead of looking for 
conclusions, he leaves his mind free to think, free to answer, free to 
be lost maybe. It is not only a speech but also a voice of restless 
resonance.
