This work is a sonic portrait of four abandoned rooms inside the 'Zone of Exclusion' in Chernobyl, Ukraine, Recorded in October 2005, the sound of each room was evoked by an elaborate method: Kirkegaard made a recording of 10 minutes and then played the recording back into the room, recording it again. This process was repeated up to ten times. As the layers got denser, each room slowly unfolded its own unique drone of various resonant frequencies. Jacob Kirkegaard's method is inspired by Alvin Lucier's work "I am sitting in a room" , who recorded his … read more

With the help of unorthodox recording tools such as accelerometers, hydrophones or home-built electromagnetic receivers, Kirkegaard manages to capture and explore "secret sounds" - distortions, interferences, vibrations, ambiences - from within a var… read more
