Nordkraft X
2019 | Sound Art
Description
Soundscape designed and music arranged for the performance “Kul-tur/Retur” by Sandro Masai and the artist duo Jens & Morten, designed for the 10th anniversary celebration of the opening of Nordkraft in Aalborg.
Concept
The sound composition starts as an abstract soundscape with threatening and mysterious coal mine sounds to intensify the immersion of being in a coal mine. After some time, the abstract atmosphere shifts to an uplifting musical composition, a modern interpretation of the work song “Working in the Coal Mine“, which was originally composed by Allen Toussaint, to engage the audience in the pure performative joy of physical activity and elements of electronic dance music are eventually introduced.
