Label: Edicoes Cn

内容、コンセプト共に激ヤバです!!2017年に二枚の名作LP [Ambiances]、[Images]が再発され話題となった(この作品はCreel Poneも一度CD-R化)、デンマークのフィールドレコーディング作家にしてサウンドエコロジストのKnud Viktor。2023年にデンマーク・サムセー島の芸術協会が氏の活動に焦点を当てた展覧会とイベントシリーズを開催、その一環として4人のアーティストに氏の手法を出発点とした新たな作品を制作を依頼。本作はその模様を36ページのブックレットとCDに纏め上げたEdicoes Cnからの出版物。特殊なスピーカーを使用した彫刻的表現にサウンドインスタレーションまでと、まさにKnud Viktorの意志を受け継ぐ面白音響が展開。

TERRAFORM - IN KNUD VIKTOR’S SOUND TRACKS was a residency program in conjunction with the exhibition and cultural program PUT YOUR EARS TO THE GROUND - Sound Painter Knud Viktor on Samsø (LÆG ØRET TIL JORDEN - Lydmaleren Knud Viktor på Samsø).

Knud Viktor grew up in Pillemark on Samsø island. He later moved to the South of France where he became a pioneer in field recording and acoustic ecology. In 2023, the art council of Samsø organized an exhibition and event series with a focus on Viktor, whose works were presented at a number of locations around the island. As part of this, local organization TERRAFORM invited a group of four artists to Agerupgård on the island of Samsø, and to Sound Art Lab - located at Bang & Olufsen’s former research studios in Struer, DK. The artists were challenged to create a new work, with Knud Viktor’s oeuvre and methods in mind as a possible starting point.

The outcome of the residency was presented during a public event at Agerupgård. Nanna Elvin Hansen and Lieven Martens each presented a new composition on a quadraphonic speaker setup. Melissa van Drie and Sarah Sikorie both presented sound installations. These works are documented in this edition. During the event we also listened to Knud Viktor’s quadraphonic piece IMAGE IX – L’ARMOIRE. A stereo edit of this piece is also included in this edition.
