The sample rate and bit depth you should use depend on the application.įor most music applications, 44.1 kHz is the best sample rate to go for.

Pulheim Jam Session, 2015, 22'40'' loop HDĭirected and edited by Johanna Billing. In the film Magnason’s improvised musical performance, acts as a ‘soundtrack’ generated from within the film shoot itself, providing the rhythm and structure for work, dictating the editing and enabling the two events to interconnect. For Billing, with her sociological interest in the phenomenon of the traffic jam and the intertwining of private and public space, these connections as well as the idea of a recording serving as an aide-mémoire, bound these events into a space constructed between document, memory and repetition. These two historical events are connected by their geography and by people’s memories and experience of the area. Forty years earlier, on 24 January 1975, in Cologne, in the same year as Pulheim's reform, the American pianist Keith Jarrett held a live improvised concert in Cologne Opera House: the now-famous Köln Concert. Parallel to the car jam, in a nearby barn, the Swedish musician Edda Magnason is improvising on a grand piano. To an industrial backdrop of plumes rising from fossil fuel and wind turbines behind fields of corn and turnip, people spontaneously start to busy themselves eating fruit, doing crosswords, play around with their dogs in the fields and talking. With a similar organizational structure of a music festival, involving red cross safety van, outdoor toilets and volunteers in yellow jackets, the traffic jam here turns into something opposite of the frustration it usually is: a pause, a hiatus, a temporary stop in time. Statistic says that each family has 2.7 cars per household. During the 70s Pulheim’s 12 disparate villages were reformed and became ‘Pulheim’, a constructed city that today consists to a large extent of rural inbetween spaces, which has lead to a strong car dependency among the residents. In its initial incarnation Pulheim Jam Session was a participatory act as part of the project series Stadtbild.Intervintion in which more than 60 cars carrying over a hundred people from the Pulheim region of Germany, situated within commuting distance from Cologne, took part in constructing a traffic jam in a countryside area. A car jam and a jamming session are two distinct kinds of activity, both with their own freedoms and constraints. Pulheim Jam Session is a film about a place, but it is also about the logic of staging and playing out of an event. ![]()
