Ilinx - Musikken I Livet

The Lake Radio

Life music is a letter exchange between three friends in sound form. Through the summer of 2024 we have sent each other sound postcards, from Japan to Denmark to the UK - small sound photographies from our summer travels. The starting point of our piece is the music in life - the music that surrounds us and occurs simply through being part of a society. A train ride, a cricket match, a walk in a Japanese arcade, a creaky door and a spontaneous outburst of samba become an eclectic collage of short sound pieces, with ilinx’ three-part vocals added. The piece was commissioned by The Lake Radio as part of our Works for Radio 2024 with support from Koda's Cultural Funds and was selected by an international jury consisting of representatives from Seydisfjordur Community Radio (IS) and Retreat Radio (SE).
