An Auditory And Visual Journey Into Sound

Nowness and Copenhagen radio station The Lake take us on a fantastic journey into sound with some groovy images to accompany the educational short film.

Set up by Copenhagen natives Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen and Rasmus Stolberg of Efterklang, together with artist Kasper Vang and radio journalist Jan Høgh Stricker, The Lake Radio continues its NOWNESS two-weekend residency with a kitsch delve into the annals of recorded sound. In an age in which sound art has become a serious form, and the iPhone provides a continuous soundtrack, The Lake is trying to free things up: “It is about raising awareness about listening not just to music, but stuff from everyday sounds to noise,” says Stricker. “A lot of the music we play we found by crate-digging in local record stores. It’s a collective approach to curation; its not something we discuss—whether this or that track works. It’s more like we know it already, because we have listened to all this music together for such a long time.”
