Alexander Rishaug - Tuning into the Norwegian Landscape 2018 - 2021

from Alexander Rishaug

Book/Magazine

During the period October, 2018 – October, 2021, sound artist Alexander Rishaug has explored the sound of the Norwegian landscape, with focus on Northern Norway. While a research fellow in artistic development work at the Academy of Arts, The Arctic University of Norway, he have scrutinised how sound affects us and changes our experience of place, time and space.

This resulted in an extensive audio and image archive, notes, audio experiments, an album, a photo book and a series of sound installations.

Rishaug has visited, and listened to, a buzzing bitcoin factory, Fakken wind farm on Vannøya, Hurtigruta's creaking hull, a closed down Tromsø city centre, an abandoned swimming pool, electromagnetic sound currents and the urban city's constant vibration.

The book documents three years of field work and recording and comes a long with a digital (QR-code) field recording album.
