From Oddesund to Odd Sounds
Performing Landscapes er i Struer en del af en weekend med fokus på lydkunst i samarbejde med 89 Sound Art School og kunsthallen Regelbau 411 med fire Performing Landscapes-kunstnere, seks kunstnere fra 89 Sound Art School og en udstillende kunstner hos Regelbau 411.
The 11 international artists remix Oddesund into Odd Sounds and invite the public to experience this iconic place as a living and sensorial soundscape while celebrating the Pentecost sun.
Over the course of 24 hours, the sounds of the landscape are transformed and recreated into diverse interpretations that can be experienced inside the dark concrete bunkers, along the gentle coastline, and beneath the noisy bridge.
ODD(e) S(o)UND(s) is organised by Kunsthal Regelbau 411, 89 Sound Art School and Metropolis / Performing Landscapes.
Programme
Saturday begins at 13:00 with the opening of Stine Deja’s installation in the Regelbau 411 bunker. From 14:00 onwards, a continuous programme unfolds throughout the landscape with interwoven sound installations in the bunkers, sound walks, vocal performances, and time-based interventions until 21:00, when the day culminates in burning embers and crackling flames.
After a short night, the audience is invited back on Sunday morning for a sunrise bonfire accompanied by gentle sounds, tones, and movements, opening the day’s programme from 08:30 to 14:00.

About the Performing Landscapes works
KATRINE FABER – The Voice Cabinet, The Song Dance and The Song of Grief
– a tribute to Æ Skawmand and Oddesund
Drawing on the landscape of Oddesund and the story of Skabsmanden, who lived for more than 40 years in a cabinet on the beach, Katrine Faber creates a work about the power of connection, the community of grief, and kinship with all living beings.
The work consists of three parts: The Voice Cabinet on the beach, in tribute to Æ Skawmand; The Song Dance on the beach, in tribute to the landscape and all living beings; and The Song of Grief in the bunker, in tribute to grief, pain, love, and that which continues to live within us. The Voice Cabinet can also be experienced continuously as a sound installation on the beach.
Katrine Faber is a performance and vocal artist, singer, composer, storyteller, director, and installation artist. She is the artistic director of Teater Viva, which expands the understanding of theatre into an artistic space where we can encounter ourselves, one another, and our living surroundings through an expanded resonance. www.teaterviva.dk
ALEX MØRCH – Sonum Danica
Sound artist Alex Mørch amplifies ambient sounds into resonant feedback soundscapes that exist only here and now. This live format invites the audience on a listening walk, where the sounds of the landscape are highlighted using a microphone, speaker, and simple audio equipment. The piece transforms the landscape into a sound installation, curating the play of chance by emphasizing and suppressing selected resonance frequencies. The project has previously taken place in more than 150 landscapes different Danish landscapes.
Alex Mørch is a composer and sound artist. His work often integrates spatial installation, noisy machinery, traditional musicians, performance, and light. Time, intimacy, context, existentialism, absurdity, and technology intertwine in pieces ranging from performative concerts to exhibitions and public spaces – exploring the balance between noise and harmony, chaos and synchronicity. www.alexmorch.com / www.sonumdanica.dk
ASTRID RANDRUP – Rust
Together, we explore rust as a living presence – not merely a sign of decay, but an active process, a movement through time and materiality. Rust is the breath of iron, a visible transformation that connects industry, nature, and the body – an ecological time machine.
Rust is not abandoned or forgotten, but picked up, touched, examined and listened to. Participants feel the weight of the material, hear its resonance, see the insistent presence of its color. A collective action where we do more than observe – we engage with rust as part of the landscape we live in and the structures we create. Through movement, sound, and visual intensity, rust becomes a mirror of our own mutability – a material that connects us to both what we build and what we allow to decay.
Astrid Randrup is a visual artist working across disciplines with sound art, performance, photography, and participatory projects, where materiality, the body, and space play central roles. Her art challenges traditional formats by involving the audience as active co-creators, while she investigates symbolism, community, and sensory experience. www.astridrandrup.dk
JØRGEN TELLER – Sol Sund
Jørgen Teller creates a panorama- and pulse-based work reflecting on the tides, the heartbeat, and the relentless rhythm of the sun’s daily cycle. Teller will be heard in a performative setting within the landscape surrounding the bunkers and along the shoreline.
Jørgen Teller is a composer, guitarist, electronic musician, and vocalist. He works across a wide range of sound sources and compositional expressions. In recent years, his compositional practice has focused on the interplay between a specific place and a conceptual framework.
Om Performing Landscapes
Performing Landscapes is a nationwide project bringing together artists who explore how art can bring us closer to the teeming world of life that we are part of – in nature, in the landscapes around us, and within ourselves.
Through art, they investigate how new experiences and perspectives can open up ways of living more sustainably and in equal relationship with our surroundings.
Performing Landscapes is organised by Metropolis – Københavns Internationale Teater in collaboration with the local partners.
