    By getting rid of old listening habits, it is possible to uncover new aspects of sound. Through disciplined listening exercises and morphological timbral examinations the focus is moved towards the sound's intrinsic value. Detached from the context, the sound is taking a new flexible form. This systematic examination also acts as a filter, and in the installation this filtered information is transported from the everyday sounds of the outdoor area into the installation space. In this way hidden aspects of the sound is being uncovered.

    The sound of the installation was based on found sound objects from the vicinity. Since it was exhibited at the beginning of December, this was limited to recordings of footsteps in cold and dry snow. These sounds were placed in a morphological timbral system, analyzed and recreated using analogue oscillators. A microphone placed in the street controlled the sounds in the installation. A series of small distorted loudspeakers were placed into the old church room's curved shape, and created a fusion of architecture and the sonic space.

    EVERYDAY FILTER is a sound art installation by Asbjørn Blokkum Flø.
