D Ý R A

Quadraphonic Sound Installation, 50 minutes

How can we collectively manifest an experience of a landscape?

A landscape that you can reach out and touch, feel remotely through sound and light, as if in semi-sleep?

Inspired by Dýrafjörður in the Westfjords of Iceland, D Ý R A is a sonic journey evoking landscapes and liminal states. Combining ambisonic and hydrophone recordings and presented in surround sound, D Ý R A is an intimate reimagining of the meditative Dýrafjörður landscape.
