posted by thomas on 26 July 2013

As a wrap-up of my residency and as a tribute to the wonderful nature of the Kilpisjärvi region i will present four sound interventions at different locations and times in the field between the Saana fjell and lake Veikkolammit. The events of audible land art take place as follows:

  • flowing @ the monolith 27.07.2013, 23:30-24:00 EEST (GMT+3) @ 69.0715°N 20.8568°E (830m asl)
  • sourcing @ the stone ring 28.07.2013, 09:00-09:30 EEST (GMT+3) @ 69.0682°N 20.8283°E (730m asl)
  • formation flight @ the islet 28.07.2013, 15:30-16:00 EEST (GMT+3) @ 69.0633°N 20.8172°E (625m asl)
  • localize-vocalize @ moorland 28.07.2013, 19:00-19:30 EEST (GMT+3) @ 69.0680°N 20.8434°E (750m asl)
For convenience, you can join the Facebook event. Please note that there are no regular hiking paths leading to the locations. It is advisable to take a compass with you, especially for the first event in the night, as clouds might obstruct the sight. Walking times from the hiking center lie between 45 (islet) and 90 minutes (monolith). Follow the regular path up to Sanaa until the staircase starts, and then further northeast to the signposted turnoff to Saanajärvi (the circular path around Saana). From there proceed directly to the mentioned locations.
