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 the view morphs with the sound.

“Struer Åben Form Pavillon af Luft” (Struer Open Form Pavilion of Air) is a floating roof of sound extending over the corner of Sydkaj in Struer Harbour, 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 along the corner of Sydkaj 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 along the pier through the app. Hear this harbourside 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 on-site at Struer Harbour.

_ [Dansk] Gå langsomt for at lade lydene komme ind gradvist, læg mærke til grænserne for disse zoner, hvor nye lyde fader ind, brug tid på nogle steder for at lægge mærke til, hvor længe lydene udvikler sig, hvordan udsigten ændrer sig med lyden.

"Struer Åben Form Pavillon af Luft" er et svævende tag af lyd, der strækker sig over hjørnet af Sydkaj i Struer Havn, udløses af GPS og tilgås via en smartphone, hovedtelefoner og echoes.xyz-appen. Inspireret af de polske arkitekter Oskar & Zofia Hansens arkitektoniske koncept "Open Form" (ca. 1959) er dette lydværk et af 15 steder i 9 lande i den paneuropæiske Open Form Pavilion of Air-serie, der bruger lyd og site-mapping til at tilbyde en legende fornyelse og omformning af det offentlige rum som et vigtigt sted for engagement i samfundet.

Ved at gå gennem forskellige zoner langs hjørnet af Sydkaj, mens du bruger din mobiltelefon, Echoes-appen og hovedtelefoner, bliver du en deltagende lytter, der producerer en komposition i realtid. Din navigation skaber en unik koreografi via GPS, som kombinerer og ændrer lyde, der er kortlagt langs molen via appen. Hør denne placering ved havnen og dens kontekst blive forvandlet af lydene, der danner denne flydende akustiske arkitektur, og afslører en fordybende, dybt rumlig og fysisk oplevelse. Pavillonen har ingen synlig tilstedeværelse uden for appen og kan kun tilgås og nydes på stedet i Struer Havn.

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. Festival performances include Sydney Festival, Maerzmusik (Kraftwerk Berlin), Sonic Acts (Amsterdam), Cork Midsummer, Ultrahang (Budapest). 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)
