Walk slowly to allow sounds to enter gradually, notice the borders of these zones where new sounds fade-in, spend time in some places to notice the long sounds develop, how what you see changes with the sound.

The Piteå Öppen Form Paviljong av Luft (Piteå Open Form Pavilion of Air) is a floating roof of sound across the Solvåg site in Piteå, triggered by GPS and accessed via a smartphone, headphones and the echoes.xyz app. Inspired by Polish architects Oskar & Zofia Hansen’s “Open Form” architectural concept (ca. 1959), this audiowork is one of 15 locations in 9 countries in the pan-European Open Form Pavilion of Air series, using sound and site-mapping to offer a playful renewal and reframing of public space as an essential place of engagement for the community.

By walking through different zones within the Solvåg, while using your mobile phone, the Echoes app and headphones, you become a participatory listener producing a composition in real-time. Your navigation creates a unique choreography via GPS, combining and changing sounds mapped through the Solvåg through the app. Hear this sub-Arctic location and its context become transformed by the sounds forming this floating acoustic architecture, revealing an immersive, profoundly spatial and physical experience. The Pavilion has no visible presence outside the app and can only be accessed and enjoyed at the Solvåg site in Piteå.

_ [På Svenska] Gå långsamt för att låta ljudet komma in gradvis, lägg märke till gränserna för dessa zoner där nya ljud tonas in, tillbringa tid på vissa platser för att lägga märke till den långa utvecklingen av ljudet, hur det du ser förändras med ljudet.

Piteå Öppen Form Paviljong av Luft (Piteå Open Form Pavilion of Air) är ett flytande tak av ljud över Solvågsområdet i Piteå, som triggas av GPS och nås via en smartphone, hörlurar och echoes.xyz-appen. Ljudverket är inspirerat av de polska arkitekterna Oskar & Zofia Hansens arkitektoniska koncept "Open Form" (ca 1959) och är en av 15 platser i 9 länder i den paneuropeiska Open Form Pavilion of Air-serien, som använder ljud och site-mapping för att erbjuda en lekfull förnyelse och omformulering av det offentliga rummet som en viktig plats för engagemang för samhället.

Genom att gå genom olika zoner i Solvåg, samtidigt som du använder din mobiltelefon, Echoes-appen och hörlurar, blir du en deltagande lyssnare som producerar en komposition i realtid. Din navigering skapar en unik koreografi via GPS, som kombinerar och förändrar ljud som kartlagts genom Solvåg via appen. Hör hur denna subarktiska plats och dess sammanhang förvandlas av ljuden som bildar denna flytande akustiska arkitektur, vilket ger en uppslukande, djupt rumslig och fysisk upplevelse. Paviljongen har ingen synlig närvaro utanför appen och kan endast nås och upplevas på Solvågsplatsen i Piteå.

http://recordedfields.net/ Robert Curgenven creates large-scale audiovisual experiences, performances, albums and installations, that emphasize physicality, our embodied response to sound and its correspondence to location, air, weather and architecture - the underlying significance of context. His recorded output includes "Tailte Cré-Umha (Bronze Lands)" and "SIRÈNE", pipe organ works, for his Recorded Fields Editions; "Oltre" and "Built Through" for LINE imprint; and "Climata", recorded in 15 of James Turrell’s Skyspaces across 9 countries.

Works and installations produced include those for National Gallery of Australia, National Museum of Poland (Krakow), Palazzo Grassi (Venice), Transmediale (Berlin) and National Sculpture Factory (IRL). "Curgenven makes the point that sounds are fundamental to our perception of the world... hearing the complexities of a place and time is intersected by memories of the familiar which are in turn displaced and transformed.” Realtime Magazine (AUS) “Behind the music lurk such [disparate] presences as Alvin Lucier, King Tubby, Murray Schafer and Eliane Radigue.” The Wire Magazine (UK)
