JG Thirlwell solo sound installation in Gotland, Sweden

JG Thirlwell has created a site specific sound installation which is playing at The Foxhole in Visby, Sweden as part of GuteLjaudKarte 2021.

The 47 minute looped soundpiece runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is entitled In Memoriam. In Memoriam is inspired by Gotland and refracts the Swedish National Anthem into a cinematic processed lens which is in turns meditative and  haunting.

The installation was commissioned by the Visby International Centre for Composers, and is operating from June 30 – August 31 2021. The Foxhole is located at Strandpromenaden, 621 55 Visby, Sweden
