A Norwegian composer is making music using noises
recorded at a sewage treatment plant in Oslo.
The city's 280,000 residents will generate noises
in the plant every time they take a shower or flush a toilet.
Arne Nordheim has attached leads to a computer
and plans to air the recorded sounds on 32 strategically placed
loudspeakers below ground.
Aftenposten quotes Mr Nordheim telling Dagens
Næringsliv newspaper that he has studied the audio workings
of the plant.
He says there is a clear distinction between
the level of activity before and after the main evening news.
Anyone wanting to hear the music will have to
visit the Bekkelaget plant because the avante-garde artist is
not planning to release a CD.
Mr Nordheim says it would be hard to publish
the sounds because the ongoing nature of the work means it will
be constantly changing.
