Sound is omnipresent. Without sound, the world can be an indecipherable, remote and dangerous place. Yet we are often unaware of the presence of sound. It is noticed when, by causing annoyance or excitement, it becomes the main irritant in a chain of irritations. In Observing the Noise, the focus is on the annoying and monotonous sounds of everyday life that are otherwise blocked from consciousness.

The exhibition artwork was created using the author’s observations of urban environmental noise. Everyday recordings from the streets were transformed into a peculiar music piece, played by purpose-built noise instruments. The solution in the form of music instruments is related to the heyday of the industrial revolution and the first half of the 20th century, when atonal, polytonal, polyrhythmic and discordant sounds gained self-value in the world of art and music.
