EPISODE 2
Jan Martin Smørdal and Øystein Wyller Odden: Kraftbalanse (SOFA595)
On Kraftbalanse, the composer Jan Martin Smørdal and visual artist Øystein Wyller Odden join forces for a musical investigation of the “mains hum”: the generally inaudible sound of electricity, which, in Norway and most of the rest of the world, is maintained at a frequency of approximately 50 Hz. Gathered on nothing less than the SOFA office’s very own sofa, Jan Martin and Øystein discuss their fascination with this oft-unacknowledged hum, the intricacies of interdisciplinary collaboration, and the enigma of Norway’s public warning system.
