An 8 channel recording played back through a 16.2 multichannel sound system meticulously recreating the acoustic space of Christianshavn metro station in Copenhagen and manipulating it, investigating behavioural codexes embedded in familiar acoustic spaces, activated architecture and the phenomenological value that derives from it. BFA project for The Danish National School of Performing Arts in the sound design specialisation.
“A metro station is a rare, confined space within the chaotic schedule of a city where various temporalities meet. Certain patterns emerge, like that of commuters’ movement and behaviour. How would the patterns transform over time when the sonic environment ever so minimally deviates from its codified behaviour? A shift of awareness, a contrast, a brief sidestep from our conscious mind. Then, suddenly: the sound reforms to its original state. Are we still the same, or have we also shifted?”
