Skjolden Brygge, Skjolden, Norway
This underwater recording at the Brygge in Skjolden captures the acoustic threshold where Ludwig Wittgenstein stepped off a Sognefjord steamer in October 1913, fleeing the intellectual noise of Cambridge for absolute isolation. Arriving with his friend David Pinsent, the Austrian philosopher landed at this very pier before building his remote cliffside hut to write the foundations of his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.
