'Soundtrack Nissan' is a four kilometer long sound installation by Mikael Ericsson, which consists of field recordings made by the participants from the soundwalks organized by Harp Art Lab. The sounds from Nissan will be relocated, displaced, intertwined and mashed up with other samples and sites.

Stationary sound sources have been placed from the harbor, the city, and all the way up to Slottsmöllan. The artist will also use mobile units operating across the four kilometer long promenade along the Nissan river.

Mikael Ericsson is researching the use of sound maps as a means of urban analysis and participatory engagement in collaboration with PhD Researcher Conor McCafferty.

Ericsson’s allusion of the world and the anxiety of human helplessness, coincide with some of the great environmental issues that concern humankind today. It inscribes itself in a tradition of artistic philosophy, concerned with the fate of man and for whom the prelude to the end of the world is a moment of exploration and reflection
