Refshaleblomster

room 16 ECHOES

Location: København, Capital Region of Denmark, Denmark

Refshaleøen is dominated by the colossal building at its centre. A beacon, a church, a testament to industry. It has a gravitational pull. It contains and it excludes.

It weighs down and soars above a landscape of many elements. Grasses reclaim the squares where administration once took place. A birch forest nestles DJs and dancers. A skin of concrete protects a long archaeological history recorded layer upon descending layer just below your feet.

The vast slipway where ships lurched their way out to sea is unnavigable. No points of reference except for far boundaries. Rectangular civil engineering becomes absorbed into a circular field of perception.

Empty fenceless space is a canvas for blooms of sound. All from this building, this area, the people who use it; what it is, was, and could well be. At the centre of each bloom is a concentric dance - one in grass and another on gravel. Thank you, Thomas.

Before I had seen inside, it was a hidden space that I could only guess about what went on in there. My attempts to infiltrate are marked by small bright green squares (like the one in the picture above).

Move/stand still/sit. Go fast/go slow. Plan/react. Find centres/draw lines.

Some Practical Stuff
- For a more reliable sound experience, download the walk while in reach of wifi instead of streaming.
- If the sound stops, try pressing pause and play again. It should restart.
- You can click on a zone and then 'see more' to find out more about it. Or you can just put your phone away. Either way is fine.
- Headphones that cover your ears are best.

Xavier Bonfill - Refshaleøen Tapes vol. I (take-away edition)

“Refshaleøen Tapes vol. I. (take-away edition)” Refshaleøen Tapes is a compilation of electronic improvisations and sketches recorded from my home studio in Refshaleøen, Copenhagen. Initially released as an album during the first corona lockdown in March 2020, this new “take-away version” sets a landscape and time of day to each track. The soundwalk is not meant to be followed in any particular order and it is almost impossible to experience it entirely in one day. Riding a bike between locations is strongly recommended.

Den Lille Havfrue i Coronatider

Den Lille Havfrue i Coronatider

I denne audio walk reflekterer Den Lille Havfrue tilbage på de livlige somre ved sin plads i København, før stedet var påvirket af Coronakrisen. Der plejede at være fyldt med mennesker om sommeren, på grund af turister og andre besøgende, men i disse Coronatider er der næsten ingen. Den Lille Havfrue tænker derfor tilbage på, hvordan det ville have været under normale omstændigheder i forhold til, hvordan det er nu; så stille at man kan høre vandet slå mod stenene.

Copenhagen Echoes

Copenhagen Echoes is a sonic remix of the historic centre of Copenhagen, seen through the eyes of the writers Ludvig Holberg, Hans Christian Andersen, Jernskiæg and Charles Dickens and heard through the ears of composer and sound artist Hans Sydow. Copenhagen Echoes will lead you through a sonic dreamscape from Kongens Nytorv to Magstræde, that evokes the spirit of the place. Along the route a mix of sound from Copenhagen and Hanoi will let you pass a sound bridge between the two cities.

You can repeat any of them you like. None of them are supposed to start or finish in any specific way.
