At Residency B28: 2–14 April 2024

The artists in residence worked on their project Sound’s Hidden Journey Under Nordic Waters, a pioneering artistic exploration of underwater sound.

The stay at the residency resulted in a sound installation, created by sound artists Petri Kuljuntausta (Finland), Laila Skovmand (Denmark), and Jens L. Thomsen (Faroe Islands). Together with sound engineer Roma Komar, they created unique recordings of underwater reverb – from deep caves in the Atlantic to silent fjords in Greenland, and the shallow waters of the beautiful Lake Saanajärvi (Sánajávri). Each artist offered their own perspective on water – hovering between philosophy and science, myth, ethics, and aesthetics.

The project was produced by Between Music in collaboration with MiklagårdArts Finland, with support from Teledyne RESON.
