Quotes and reports on history, natural sciences and humanities, civil reception, research and prediction and the human handling of it mingle with regard to the Fukushima nuclear disaster and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster with excerpts from The Fifth Book: New CVs collage-like with (the Description of) "images" and pieces of music as well as short interviews with the author.
From the booklet of the CD:
“A short time before the earthquake moved the North Island of Japan by 4 meters, the chiming of the bell could be measured as far as the Swiss mountains, a research group at Sendai University, which is in the same prefecture as the Fukushima nuclear power plant, found that 1000 Years earlier, namely in AD 869, a similarly severe earthquake followed by a tsunami took place and that - according to your measurements - such a disaster repeats itself every 1000 years. Now more than 1000 years have passed and they should warn of the Great Quake. A few weeks later, the events in Japan shook the world. We humans are not prepared for this long breath of nature or for such sudden violence. But there are human communities and people who pay attention to nature's paw and know how to respond to it. ... And so we are able to read the signs of Fukushima and also of Chernobyl at least retrospectively. "
