New car sounds in future?

Music from Turku live in Logomo

How does bus station sound? Go to Logomo on Saturday and find out when Urban Audio -project presents their compositions from Turku.

The Urban Audio investigates the musical potential of Turku, the European Capital of Culture 2011, and lets citizens and visitors participate in a new quality of perceiving urban space.

In a nine days project, Urban Audio turned the urban sounds of the Finish town Turku to music. Special stringed instruments transform all ambient sounds to musical tunes. Every noise and sound, every shouting, barking, honking or laughing, and every car passing by will play a tone on the instruments.

What's the sound of the European Capital of Culture?

The Urban Audio van with its mobile recording-studio was present on different sites in the public space of Turku. Citizens and visitors were invited to listen live to the transformation of urban sounds on headphones and to enjoy the yet unheard acoustical quality of urban space.

Florian Tuercke, sound artist behind this project, wants to co-operate with Audi and someday create a completely different traffic noise.

What's the sound of Turku? Find it out on Saturday 16.7. 5 pm in Logomo.
