The Avenue of Sound is a research through art and design project designed and performed by guest artist and researcher Steen Lund Holbek. The installation consists of two parallel sound walls — each 7 meters long and 2 meters high — built from 32 mismatched loudspeakers powered by 16 equally idiosyncratic hi-fi amplifiers. Positioned four meters apart, the speaker walls form a corridor through which visitors are invited to walk, linger, and listen.
Rather than offering a fixed narrative, the installation unfolds as an exploratory field of microvariations and distributed intensities. Visitors shape their own embodied listening experience by moving through the corridor, encountering overlapping zones of synthetic, composed, and real-world sounds. Simple participatory guidelines will be available, encouraging both individual reflection and shared experience.
About the artist: Steen Lund Holbek is a Danish sound artist, electronic musician, and producer whose practice unfolds across live performance, theater, and installation. Working with turntables, vintage drum machines, analog synthesizers, and other electronic media, he explores the tension between affective, exploratory experience and musical expression. His work is shaped by a strong sensitivity to texture, rhythm, and sonic form, and often examines how sound can create immersive and emotionally resonant situations.
