The sound sculpture LandCurves (Finse), a collaboration with the geophysics professor and sound designer Karen Mair, originally made as part of the Territories project has been selected for the Nordic Music Days 2024 programme in Glasgow in October-November 2024. The piece will be exhibited at Waterstone’s bookstore on Sauchiehall street.

The sculpture is made from CNC’ed XPS, Acrylic1, wood, electronics, and paint. The sculpture has 8 sound layers, tracing a path from the Blåisen glacier at the Hardangervidda mountain plateau in central southern Norway. A physical sound map is created from 3D models of existing topographic base maps along with photographic documentation from fieldwork in the area. Each listening point in the sound map consists of edited recordings made during fieldwork in August 2022. Datasets of the geological layers have been analysed, where each layer below the reconstructed 3D map represents a particular geological unit and informs the representations of the sounds recorded on site. The sonic elements making up the sound maps then reflect the distinct geological materials, their history and their state.
