Sound collector, sound composer and artist, working with field recordings. By focusing on the details, the deconstruction of an already existing sound environment becomes reconstructed into a new sonic and spatial scenery, where acoustic and visual esthetics go hand in hand. Mainly working with sound art installations the works are often realized as spatial, multi-channel installations.

  • From One Space to Another - A Journey of Sonic Details (last edited: 2024) author(s): Helena Persson This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
    From One Space to Another is a sound essay in video format of the ongoing research of understanding the world, phenomenons and situations through sound and listening. The ambition is that through the act of listening use the detail as a means of highlighting a phenomenon where sound serves as a deeper means of registering and understanding the environment. By zooming in we can accumulate knowledge, broaden and expand our perception and comprehension and create greater understanding of the bigger context. This way it might be possible to raise awareness and bring to consciousness the things we might not be aware of and that we sometimes fail to notice. In this practice-led sound essay you take part of sound art pieces that are intertwined by thoughts and reflections throughout the journey. From One Space to Another presents recordings and compositions of smaller components such as the acoustics of fibers in the trees and the needled thread of embroideries as well as the structural repetitiveness of machinery in the textile industry. At the same time it shows how the recorded material inspires and encourages various kinds of expressions. This sound and video essay is an independent project within the Master Program Experimental Composition and Creation at the Academy of Music and Drama in Göteborg, Sweden.
