Music For The Statues of Gothenburg is a piece written for three statues along Kungsportsavenyn, the main street of Gothenburg. It is an observation on the sonic landscape of the city and a question about the usage rights of the public space.

Using contact microphones and multi track recording the statues Kopparmärra, Bältesspännarna and Poseidon were temporarily transformed from visual landmarks to reverberant membranes. The microphones captured more than the music on the score; passersby, trams and busses also sent vibrations through the statues. Listen closely and you will hear the city.

Music For The Statues Of Gothenburg was written by Andreas Bygdell and performed by Martin Molin.

Note: care was taken to ensure that no harm came to the statues during the recording.
