The Hollow - Variation 1 (mixed down for stereo playback)

Enter: Sonic Tank is a 4 channel project located at Tou Scene, Stavanger curated by The Wire 's Anne Hilde Neset. Tou is a large disused brewery steel tank and the room housing Enter is a tank which originally contained molasses. It is now a rusty industrial space with pillars and huge heating elements hanging from the ceiling. Twenty four artists have been commissioned to make four channel pieces. Features Kim Gordon, Oren Ambarchi, Camille Norment, Charlemagne Palestine and Ansumen Biswas. For more information on the exhibition, see The Wire and Tou Scene.

The four channel composition, The Hollow - Variation 1, is a variation on the conceptual theme and sonic composition, The Hollow - Wishing Cave. The work conceptually references the psychology of 'the well' as written by fiction writer Haruki Murakami as well as symbolic nature of 'the cave' in the poetry of Tor Ulven. The Hollow situates itself as a space between realities; like a node in a science-fiction, it is a location of presence, absence, transition and metamorphosis, embracing both the familiar and the unknown. All possibilities, all of life itself occurs in the pause between the sound of two falling drops.

See also, The Hollow - Wishing Cave, the commissioned audio installation for the surreal environment of the Sundholm compound in Copenhagen. The Hollow - Beyond Violet . The experience of ‘a player’ who navigates the Sundholm compound is illustrated in a science-fantasy narrative entitled The Hollow.
