Discipline
2025, multi channel sound piece (12:22 min)
Discipline was created for a surround sound concert I co-organized in Lyssningsrummet, Stockholm. The piece stems from fieldwork in Gjerdrum and Bagn, Norway, where I documented landscapes reshaped by mudslides and landslides. It weaves processed recordings of excavators, silence, a stream, and contact microphone textures with electroacoustic signals from an ebow-driven guitar string. Together, they create an unstable soundscape that reflects industrial progress and nature’s decay.
Best experienced if listened through a stereo pair or headphones.
‘Traversées Sonores’ translates to ‘Sonic Crossings’, and is a part of an ongoing initiative to hightlight sound art and provide a platform for emerging artists. The series continues throughout the year, with the second edition taking place at Institut Suèdois in Paris during Nuit Blanche June 7th, 2025. The first installment of ‘Traversées Sonores’ was presented in Lyssningsrummet, with the generous support of Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm, and Institut Français de Suède.
