'Under the direction of Canadian composer, sound artist and Tudor specialist Matt Rogalsky, the work, which was created in 1973, is newly interpreted in a workshop with students of the Scandinavian master's programme “Nordic Sound Art”. Found, converted or self-made objects are arranged freely around the room. Transducers on the objects cause the items to emit sounds. Resulting is an abundant, accessible “rainforest” of sounds. The installation will be opened with a live performance.'
