SOUND ART IN PUBLIC SPACES: GLASS AND AIR AF DAWN SCARFE

Glass and Air af Dawn Scarfe er en installation, der lader os lytte til hinanden gennem optagelser fra det hverdagsliv, der udspiller sig i byen. Lige nu rundt omkring os. Vi kommer helt tæt på. Intenst og nærværende, fordi vi lytter gennem ”listening glasses” og ikke gennem almindelige højtalere. Kombineret med en præoptaget lyd, der tager udgangspunkt i Luciers’ Music for Cello with One or More Amplified Vases fra 1993, fejer et soundtrack henover celloens strenge og søger efter resonanser i glaskar med små mikrofoner placeret indeni.

Glass and Air by Dawn Scarfe is an installation that lets us listen to each other through recordings from everyday life in the city. Right now, just around us - getting really close. Intense and present, because we listen through “listening glasses” and not through ordinary speakers. Combined with a pre-recorded sound based on Luciers’ Music for Cello with One or More Amplified Vases from 1993, a soundtrack sweeps across the cello’s strings and searches for resonances in glass jars with small microphones placed inside.
