Show 647: Gas production by Vidar Martens for Radio Nova

Based on field recordings from gas production, the piece creates a comfortable yet eerie soundscape.


The monotonous sound of gas production has been described as hearing the rumbling, eternal sounds of the earths core. It is the sound of ancient matter transformed to energy, energy we easily and affordably use to maintain our comfortable western life styles. The soundscape allures the idea that everything is fine and well. At the same time, we know that maintaining the status quo is leading to fast and radical changes, with more devastating effects than we want to imagine.

Show 588: Forgetfullness by Magnus Oledal (Radio Nova)

forgetfullness

Forgetfulness is a mental sculpture. The piece starts with a session of relaxation. As you listen, you may feel a connection to new age or therapy. You should however try to look beyond these assosiations to fully experience the mental sculpture.

Magnus Oledal (b.1972, Sweden). Oledal holds a Masters degree in Fine Art from The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. He mainly works with sculpture. One of his main concerns is to create encounters that heighten the viewer’s awareness of her own body and the cognitive functions that enable and produce this encounter. He has been involved in the collaborative art project ‘Tomma Rum’ (Empty Rooms) since its inception in 2003. He exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in scandinavia and abroad. Lives and works in Oslo.

The first excerpt, titled The Study of a Killing, is a sampled and modified score using sound directly from the film. The second excerpt is from Untitled. Deconstructed Languages. The piece is the result of a continuous change of language, where film dialogue has been translated to text, this text has then been translated to three languages and published as the book weekendWEEKENDWeek-End (2014). Then the published texts have been translated to sound using a Typatune. Another modified version of the sound is combined with an altered scene from the film Weekend in the video Death, Disaster and Expensive Handbags (2010).

Teddy Love is a homage to modern urges. To your needs. To every listener’s distant longing. Do not resist interactivity; please answer when spoken to, please do as you’re told. That way our common pleasure will reach a modern kind of high.

Show 463: Radio Nova presents Overture by Lutz Rainer Mueller and Stian Ådlandsvik

The artists Stian Ådlandsvik and Lutz-Rainer Müller invited two musicians from the Swedish Chamber Orchestra on a road trip from Leipzig to Örebro to play music composed by Johann S. Bach in the car. In this movable mini-concert house, a flute and a cello played compositions written by Bach hundreds of years ago, while the Mercedes engine played the compositions of the motorway. Travelling through three countries, the audience for this concert was maybe just the distance and the velocity of the motorway. Just like the speed of the car blurs details, human memory clouds events, time and distance. One can attempt to hold on to the memories, but the fading starts almost immediately, and goes on to rearrange and delete, until only fragments are left. The recording of this 16 hour drive/concert was compressed to a 30 minutes long sound art piece that reflect on movement, speed and memory.

Stian Ådlandsvik (b.1981) and Lutz-Rainer Müller (b. 1977) have worked together since 2006 and both hold degrees from the Oslo Academy of Fine Art. Ådlandsvik also attended the Hochschule für bildende Künste, Hamburg and Müller attended the Art Academy of Bergen and also holds a degree from the Muthesius Kunsthochschule in Kiel. Their collaborative work process often originates in particular situations or contexts which they either create for themselves or which they react on. As trusted collaborative partners, they use the very circumstance of them working together as a starting point for new ideas. Their reflection upon the collaboration itself becomes a key feature in their work. As a duo, they have exhibited broadly throughout Europe. They live and work in Oslo and Leipzig.

Show 439: Yaris AM 153, 225 and 1611 by Cedric Stevens and Vidar Martens (Radio Nova)

What you hear is a field recording taken from the inside of a Toyota Yaris, driving through the city centre of Oslo in 2010.
The radio is being changed between the different AM frequencies 153, 225 and 1611 at a high volume. Since AM frequencies is poorly supported in Norway, the Yaris pick up mainly electromagnetic signals from the surroundings like the tram, hospital or its own engine, instead of ordinary radio transmission from radio broadcasts.
The Toyota Yaris works like a vehicle for translating nonperseptive surroundings to sound, as well as transporting passangers. This creates an exploratory AM soundscape of central Oslo.

Show 414: Oro by Cecilia Hultman for Radio Nova

Oro is a sound piece by Cecilia Hultman (b. 1985) for Radio Nova and Radia, which takes its title from the Swedish word for unrest.


Cecilia Hultman is a Swedish visual artist, concentrated on definitions and associative representation, often with geography and geology related reflections inserted.
Hultman claims that scientific descriptions often works as poetry and choose
to see upon associations as a productive way of finding new meanings
about our existence. Most of her work is based on drawing and she
likes to think about her art practice as a method of both getting closer
and getting distanced to reality. Concentration, presence, precision
and time is important components within Hultman’s work.
