Wednesday Visitor - Morten Norbye Halvorsen

Morten Norbye Halvorsen

Based in Norway, he is focused on  sounds as he is a composer and sues this in his practise. He creates his desired atmosphere with the sound and then accompanies that with performances and props to give the audience more clues to what the subject matter is. To begin with he will gather the sound of the space he will be recording in to maximise reality when it is all edited together. For example, he collaborated with 20 artists to perform a verity show that would be the same everyday, but with the mix of having different audiences. This ended up with some of the days being louder, some being less busy and overall a mash up of silence, laughter and applauds. Without visuals it made it seem more abnormal than it would have if we saw the regular audience reaction clips. In the example below it shows his technique of setting up all the equipment days before to get the space sound and then the eventual track of weird fuzziness and airy sounds. Even though this wasn't my favourite style it was interesting to see that more goes into it than just speaking into a microphone.
