Petri Kuljuntausta with Random Doctors & Klaustrofobia: Black Groove (AV Installation) Akusmata - Sound Art Gallery (http://akusmata.com/) Helsinki 2.-17.2.2012 "Few years ago I found from flea market two old Siemens sound test records from the 1930s. In Black Groove these records are used as the basic sound source. At first the records were digitalized at the Sound Restoration unit of Finnish National Library. This was necessary as you can't play this old gramophone records with modern record players. At the Finnish National Library they did a special job to me: at first, they digitalized the records, and next I wanted them to remove all information out from the records. What was left was clicks and pops, surface noises, noise of dirt, mechanical noises and electrical noises of the records and record player. These sounds were distributed over the multichannel loudspeaker system in the Akusmata gallery space. Thus the visitors could move in the "space of groove" and spatially mix these vinyl noises together. The video of the Black Groove is sound reactive and it follows the groove noises in real-time. When there is no sound, the line is straight, but it becomes active immediately when the noises appear. In the gallery we used five invisible curtains that were hanging in the space. These multiplied the line five times and visitors saw the lines in the air. Thus the 3D space was created with digital and analogical means.
