CHRISTIAN SKJØDT HASSELSTRØM: ILLUMINATION

"It’s a precious proof of a significant audio-art generated as a result of programming sensitive pulses."
Aurelio Cianciotta // Neural Magazine

Created specifically for a 18th century wine cellar in the Botanical Garden in Riga, the sound installation Illumination examines the translation of the outer circumstances, harvesting the energy from the sun, and bringing this into the cellar in the form of sound. Here the sounds are spatialized, where it investigates the special acoustics of the dome shaped wine cellar. Each system/speaker is tuned to the Concert A (440 Hz) under optimal sunlight conditions, resulting in microtonal cluster-type texture due to the weather conditions and the rotation of our planet.

Limited edition of 250 copies on clear vinyl with gatefold artwork.
