German football - by Kid Kin

Kid Kin's remix of children playing football in Hamburg, October 2014.

'I chose this recording (children playing football on the streets of Hamburg) because of it's understatedness. It's a common sound that can be heard in most cities around Europe, but there's a difference in perspective here. For passers by, it's children playing, making noise, nothing to see here. For the children, it's acting, pretending for a few moments that they are their sporting heroes. They aren't in the street, the field, the park; they're in the stadium, in front of thousands of adoring fans.

I wanted to present the field recording in it's original state, but with a overly pretentious dressing-up, an almost tongue-in-cheek imagining of the children's point of view - grandiose and dreaming.'
