TERRAIN VAGUE II

Frederikshavn, Læsø & Aalborg - Sound Installation by MESMER

Duration: 60 minutes

In the sound installation Terrain Vague II, the artist collective MESMER explores the porous boundaries between nature and culture through a site-specific sound installation.

Field recordings from Læsø, Frederikshavn, and Aalborg are transformed into an immersive sonic landscape of synths, percussion, trumpet, and samples.

The work invites visitors into an undefined auditory space — a terrain vague — where presence and place unfold in new ways.

The sound work is accompanied by a light work by Jesper Thiemer, where specific locations in Aalborg form the basis for the color scale in the light that reacts to MESMER's sound.

MESMER consists of the three composers and musicians Emil Jensen, Victor Dybbroe, and Anders Filipsen, who have collaborated for over 15 years in exploring sound as a living, spatial experience.

Jesper Thiemer works as a light artist with a focus on the connection between light, sound and space in acousmatic fusions.

The three different pieces can be heard during the autumn of 2025 at Huset in Aalborg, Frederikshavn Art Museum and Læsø Kunsthal.

The piece is supported by the Danish Art Council, Danish Composers Association and Huset i Aalborg.
