view of the installation

A permanent installation of an ensemble of eight modules on the dunes, standing between the city and the beachside. This piece needed to coexist with a constantly changing environment, with a myriad of sounds forming a soundscape to which it would also contribute. The approach was to blend the piece with its surroundings, seeking to integrate it with the existing elements. The modules are spread over a wide area so visitors can perceive their sounds from a gamut of perspectives and scales.
