Fjord & Baelt is an underwater tunnel exhibition at the open research lab in Kerteminde, Denmark. We created a four-hour multichannel soundscape composition based on environmental data recorded near the station throughout 2016.

Fjord & Baelt is an underwater tunnel exhibition at the open research lab in Kerteminde, Denmark. Developed together with ART+COM Studios, the exhibition reflects on underwater environments and the natural forces that influence marine life.
For the project, we created a four-hour multichannel soundscape composition based on environmental data collected near the research station throughout 2016. Different variables, including moon phase and sea level pressure, were translated into musical structures and temporal forms.
The composition moves through the complete yearly dataset as an acoustic time lapse. Within this structure, one day lasts 40 seconds and one month unfolds across 20 minutes. Environmental measurements shape the pacing, harmonic development, and overall progression of the soundscape over time.
Our contribution focused on the sound concept, music composition, sound design, data sonification, mix and master, and on-site implementation. Through the translation of scientific observations into sound, the project connects environmental data with spatial listening inside the exhibition environment.
