Outdoor sound penetrates both our conscious and subconscious sensations. Much of it we ignore, its qualities too quiet, fleeting or mundane to pay heed to amidst our other thoughts and activities. Yet amongst what is hidden can be found curious qualities of space, source, action and response, all of which are on our own doorstep.

"Subliminal Throwback" is located at the amphitheatre between Slemdalsveien 11 and Gydas vei 6. It reveals the living space in a 3-D audio, site-specific installation. The installation draws seemingly vacant spatial sound from earlier in the year into the present time of June, manoeuvring our "listening" so we can "hear".

The sound is low volume and designed in keeping with what already exists. We invite visitors to relax in, or explore the sound space.

The work is part of the Norwegian Artistic Research Council project 'Reconfiguring the Landscape', investigating how 3-D electroacoustic composition and sound-art can incite a new awareness of outdoor sound environments.
