Locus Transfer
Sound work

and the video Palpus

Presented in the art exhibition IN/BETWEEN; LOCALIZE in Stamsund, Lofoten, Norway 6-11 June 2006, together with Stamsund Internasjonale Teaterfestival

Description: Locus Transfer is a transfer of time, places and events and consists of five sound sections placed in different places in Stamsund.

Sound 1 and 2 are parts of normal life from work to weekend. Sound 3, 4 and 5 are what comes In/Between

Sound 1
A recording from the subway station T-Centralen in Stockholm in rush hour. The trains were coming in every minute. A huge amount of people passing.
Listen to sample, 129 k, mp3    


The sound was placed near this bridge
 
From the other side
     

The subway was heard over the water
 
     

Sound 2
A recording from a birthday party. People were talking, eating, drinking, singing Swedish "snaps" songs and tunes
Listen to sample, 144 k, mp3    


The party was heard from this building overlooking an empty space with no people
 
     

Sound 3
What comes In/Between, bad things. A radio was playing from an open window with news from terror attacks. Like something had just happened.
Listen to sample, 120 k, mp3    

 

Sound 4
What comes In/Between, good things - LOVE. But here I need to comment. To find sound files on the internet with murder, criminality, blood and disaster is very easy. But Love.. I searched for two days for good sound files in all archives I could find, but almost nothing. At last I found a page with samples for English words maybe as training for Asian people to learn the English language. I cut together a love scene with the words said by both women and men. This sample has also the pauses shortened. The sound was heard from loud speakers outside the Theater festival office.
Listen to sample, 192 k, mp3    

 

Sound 5
What comes In/Between, bad things. A radio was playing hidden behind a hedge. A person was zapping between different radio channels and what popped up between music and noise were people talking about criminality. But when you looked behind the hedge there was only a grill.
Listen to sample, 100 k, mp3
