Armed with four 8011 DPA hydrophones,
DPA 4060 omni mics, a Telinga parabolic
reflector mic and and a Sound Devices
744T digital hard disk recorder, Jana
Winderen studies and records wild places
which have a particular importance in
our understanding of the complexity and
fragility of marine ecosystems.

The recordings were made on field trips
to the Barents Sea (north of Norway and
Russia), Greenland and Norway, deep in
crevasses of glaciers, in fjords and in
the open ocean. These elements are then
edited and layered into a powerful
descriptive soundscape. The open spaces
of Greenland, northern winds, ravens and
dogs in an icy landscape provide the
setting for these haunting but dynamic
pieces. Sounds of crustaceans, fish such
as cod, haddock, herring and pollock
recorded as they are hunting, calling
for a mate or orientating themselves in
their environment, are all included in
the mix. The result is a powerful,
mesmeric journey into the unseen audio
world of the frozen north.

Artist statement:

"I like the immateriality of a sound
work and the openness it can have for
both associative and direct experience
and sensory perception. I have been
occupied with finding sounds from unseen
sources of sound, like blind field
recordings. Over the last three years I
have collected recordings made by
hydrophones, from rivers, shores and the
ocean, and more recently also from
glaciers in Greenland, Iceland and
Norway. In the depths of the oceans
there are invisible but audible
soundscapes, about which we are largely
ignorant, even if the oceans cover 70%
of our planet. I am also experimenting
with different types of microphones to
collect sounds which are not obviously
recognisable, but give room for broader,
more imaginative readings. I use these
sounds as source material for
composition in a live environment or to
create installations, currently also for
film, radio, CD and vinyl productions."
