Hunting signals from Northern Zealand on the way to New York.
If you were in Gribskov recently, you may have heard a number of different hunting signals, performed on a traditional horn, as a part of the preparations for the grand scale sound event “Royal Sound Art” by Charlie Morrow (US), to be performed across North Zealand in August.
Forest guard Knud was the man behind the horn - he is very experienced on the traditional hunting horn and has won several awards for his horn playing. For the sound event, he has made himself available to the recordings of various hunting signals. Present with sound recording equipment was also sound artist Charlie Morrow and various local parties.
For the uninitiated, there are many, very different signals connected with a hunt; Each animal has its own signal, there are different signals for “Departure”, “Good Morning” and not least important – a signal that calls for lunch.
These recordings are now travelling to New York, where Charlie Morrow is creating sound pieces, based on tales of the ancient Kings in North Zealand.
Erling Bevensee, the leader of Gribskov Cultural School, and Henrik Ammitzbøl, the owner of a small local sound mastering company,are travelling with the sound files. They will join Charlie Morrow in his sound studio, working on the hunting signals as well as the other sounds, which combined will form the sound event ”Royal Sound Art”.
The event will be performed more than 20 times across North Zealand – read more
