Sofa Music is proud to present the solo debut album of Norwegian composer and sound artist Tine Surel Lange.

Works for Listening 1-10 is a series of spatial electro-acoustic works developed at Notam (NO), MISC (LT), and EMS (SE). All the works are made in 5th order ambisonics but have been presented in many different formats- as in this stereo decoding of the works.

In Works for Listening, there is a strong focus on listening-aesthetics and our psychological categorization of sound. Surrounding sound environments are created with material taken from everyday life: organic sound sources reconstructed to varying degrees by tone, rhythm, timbre, and layers. The sonic material in Works for Listening appears physical and tactile, and often abstracted from their original state.
As Tine Surel Lange expresses herself: With Works for Listening, I hope to create inspiration for increased listening experiences in life.

Reviews

Wire Magazine

Sound artist Tine Surel Lange lives in Lofoten, in Norway's far north. It's tempting to connect the qualities of her electroacoustic work to the ruggedly delineated terrain and atmospheric clarity of that region. Titles such as "Water And Stone" and "Sunset Rising" reinforce a sense that the nature of the locality has helped Lange to refine her own listening practices. Everyday environments provide the material she works with, although in her shrewdly processed reconstructions the identity of particular sound sources becomes less significant than their auditory character. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own psychoacoustic response to tones, timbres, rhythms and densities that might be routine and familiar in themselves, but are here framed in ways that allow them to be heard within fresh and potentially illuminating perspectives.
