After two and a half years it was time for a design change to improve the legibility and usability of THE SONIC BLOG.

Apart from many smaller changes in layout, there is now a language switch available in the sidebar. Each visitor can select his preferential blog language and the feeds are monolingual as well.

Please enjoy the new/old THE SONIC BLOG!

Today The Sonic Blog becomes two years old. In the first place many thanks to all visitors and everyone who supported The Sonic Blog.

For the upcoming year I plan to do more detailed book reviews and more interviews, the new project talks are a first step in this direction.

Moreover I want to offer some events by The Sonic Blog, such as the current workshop “The Built Environment and Documentary Strategies (Rhine/Ruhr)” by Kai-Olaf Hesse.

Who misses something in The Sonic Blog, should simply write a comment about that. As far as possible, I will follow the suggestions.

Interviews are popular, but costly in terms of time. Since a while I think about how I could feature more interviews with photographers. In result I initiate the “Project Talk” series on the The Sonic blog, which discusses actual projects with photographers.

The series starts with Simon Hoegsberg and his project “We’re All Gonna Die – 100 meters of existence”.
