Vertical Studies: Acoustic shadows and boundary reflections. by Signe Lidén and Espen Sommer Eide Save a seat for the excursion on Thursday 23 February, 14:00. Just a few spots left! BUY TICKETS In their new collaborative work, Vertical Studies: Acoustic Shadows and Boundary Reflections, Signe Lidén and Espen Sommer invite participants on a journey to a 46-metre-high abandoned water tower in Sint Jansklooster. The tower has been re-imagined as a vertical field-lab where Lidén and Sommer discuss their ongoing research into connections between sound, history, wind and weather. To this end they have constructed a range of special instruments to record and playback sounds in the vertical dimension. The participants on this journey will experience live outdoor vertical studies and a vertical soundscape shaped by Eide and Lidén that ascends the tower’s spiral staircase. Commissioned by Sonic Acts & Dark Ecology. Espen Sommer Eide (NO) is based in Bergen. He has composed and performed a series of experimental electronic works with his projects Phonophani and Alog. Signe Lidén’s (NO) installations and performances examine man-made landscapes and their resonances. She is based in Bergen. The installation in the water tower is open for the public during visitors hours on 4, 11, 18 and 25 February. Excursions take place on 23 February with return bus travel to the water tower from Muziekgebouw, for the performance of Vertical Studies (see timetable).
