The Lake ⏤ Struer Tracks The Lake Radio

The first of five afternoon broadcasts from the biennial for sound and listening, Struer Tracks, recorded live in a caravan on the town square of Struer in West Jutland, Denmark. Mostly in Danish, some parts in English, the sounds are universal. Witness the grand opening of Struer Tracks in the form of a BIG BANG as well as interviews with artists Amber Meulenijzer, Ragnhild May and Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard.

Join The Lake's William Kudahl and Belgian artist Amber Meulenijzer as Amber drives them around in her old Saab emitting sine waves from 12 speakers on the car roof interweaving with the sonic surroundings.

The Lakes Louise Tandrup Esbensen taler med kunstner Ragnhild May om baggrunden for hendes værk 'Jyske Monstre', der er udstillet i bunker-galleriet Regelbau 411 ved Oddesund nord for Struer.

Back in our caravan on the town square for day two of Struer Tracks, we start things off with the biennial's two curators Jacob Eriksen and Matilde Best in the studio. Then a wireless reportage from a sound sculpture in the square as well as a meeting with a local citizen opening our ears to the sounds of the city. Then we switch to English as we get a visit from members of the Shortwave Collective, who are present at Struer Tracks with daily workshops and a general unthinking of radio.

Some time codes for this long listen:


29:16 Jacob Eriksen og Matilde Best om at kuratere Struer Tracks

As a part of our live radio broadcast from Struer Tracks, CHEST will carry a live postcard to you all.

It's our first time in Struer so there's a lot of new currents coming through. New kinds of sentences. And with our palms in the air we touch an entrance to a new season of the chest.

Xxxxxxcited to be carried away again 💜
