about

'echo surveys : vartiosaari' is a series of site-specific soundworks for locations around vartiosaari island in helsinki, finland, produced for the exhibition at the 'arts in the environment' nordic symposium, which ran on the island from september 2 – october 8, 2017. each work is constructed from field recordings and resonated objects (found, played, and recorded in-situ) from each individual location, and was originally intended to be heard there. visitors could bring their own smartphones and headphones and listen to the works by scanning a QR code at each site.

the last piece (navetta/barn) is a recording of the live performance that took place, under the same conditions as the other pieces, at the opening event on september 2, 2017.

included with the download is a copy of the official exhibition map, with letters A through F added to identify the specific locations of the six pieces. you will also find a set of photographs of the 6 sites. you can find more information on the exhibition here: www.nordicenviroart.org

the scaffold
by manja ristić & murmer

supported by 9 fans who also own “echo surveys : vartiosaari”

I love how soundscape artists like MJ and PJM can turn field recordings into magic mirrors to help us see the wonder in our everyday worlds. I have never heard a scaffold singing, but now I want to listen! I hear here, too, how the organic and mechanical can merge into something new and mysterious, even transcendent, in the densest urban environments if we open ourselves to that possibility. And what a lovely mix of droning and percussive textures! Dave Aftandilian
