Listening Evenings
One whole album, start to finish
ANDETAG Listening Evenings are ten Friday evenings this autumn, when one album is played in full inside the installation in central Stockholm, through four wall-mounted hi-fi loudspeakers from dotAudio. 20 places each evening.
The audience listens together, surrounded by the work's slow light and a shared breath. Each album is chosen for its ability to hold presence, depth, and one continuous journey.
This is not a concert, and not a light show driven by music. It is a meeting between an existing artwork, an album, and an audience listening together.
The ten albums this autumn
- Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon
- Nils Frahm All Melody
- Björk Vespertine
- BT This Binary Universe
- Radiohead In Rainbows
- Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells
- Henryk Górecki Symphony No. 3 “Symphony of Sorrowful Songs”
- Jon Hopkins Music for Psychedelic Therapy
- Sigur Rós ( )
- Howard Blake The Snowman
On the evenings whose album runs shorter than 60 minutes, ANDETAG’s own music carries on afterwards for anyone who would like to stay a little longer.
How an evening unfolds
The exhibition is open beforehand, and we encourage you to come early. Move through the room at your own pace first, and let the evening begin there.
How you listen is up to you: seated or lying down. There are cushions, blankets and a soft mat. The light keeps its own rhythm, just as it does on an ordinary visit.
When the last track fades, the room stays quiet for a while before the evening ends.
Curious about the sound in the room the rest of the time? Read about the music at ANDETAG, or about what kind of experience ANDETAG is.
The sound: dotAudio Walle
The sound comes from four dotAudio Walle, developed and tested in Norrtälje by a small team whose background runs from speaker cabinets to years of live sound engineering. A full-range, two-way system engineered to deliver exceptional sound in an ultra-slim profile: an 8 inch woofer and crisp highs from a panel 9.5 cm thick in Baltic birch plywood, reaching from 29 Hz up to 20 kHz.
That slimness lets the panel choose its role. It can blend into the wall until it is barely noticed, or be brought forward as part of the furnishing, rather like a picture someone chose to hang.
Four panels, hidden among the works. No loudspeaker in sight, none making itself heard. Just the record.
