KOMPASS / Ådal
Ådal
The forests in Ådal are shaped by timber farming and harvesting. Here, the rig was set up on the border between young and old farmed forests and fields that have grown freely after being clearcut. In some of the longest recordings, the rig makes 360-degree sweeps where these different forest types become visible. In the audio recordings, difference in vegetation can be heard through the variation and density of birdcalls and how the acoustic of their calls change, or from how the wind moves through the trees in a different way.
