Radio of silence. Part five: Heart valve.  

A small reflection on the concept of silence and time which takes it’s starting point in a recording of the sound from a mechanical heart valve, of the same model, that my grandfather received through heart surgery during the spring of 1986.

En kort reflektion kring begreppet tystnad som tar sin utgångspunkt i en inspelning av ljudet av en mekanisk hjärtklaff, av samma modell, som min morfar fick inopererad under våren 1986.

Radio Of Silence Part Five Heart Valve

The recording was made during the exhibition period of My sound installation A Song From The Factory at the Rejmyre Glass Factory 29/6 - 8/9 2019. 

The soundinstallation was formed of sine waves that was based on the toxic measurement values from the toxicality report from the area behind the glas factory. The vibration from the sine waves that was generated through the speakers, the pieces of disapproved glas that were placed in them and the sounds from the daily ongoing work in the glas factory together made and formed the installation.  

A Song From The Factory was composed as a part of the Rejmyre Art Labs ongoing project Detox/Clean it up and was shown as a part of the projects embedded installation series.
