Sound Installation for Trapholt Museum

Together with my classmate Tobias Jakobsen, I created a sound installation—referred to as a sound bath—for Trapholt Museum’s exhibition on Nanna Ditzel. The idea was to design ambient, meditative sound that complemented Nanna Ditzel’s furniture, inviting visitors to settle in and experience the work in a deeper, more sensory way.

Our sound bath plays continuously in a quiet exhibition room where Ditzel’s designs are displayed. It echoes the playful, abstract, and timeless qualities of her work, with nature as a strong point of inspiration—just as in Ditzel’s own creations .

One special highlight is the sound environment I developed for the “Gummicellen” (the rubber cell). In this room, I crafted a 30-minute ambient piece with sound design inspired by the texture and feel of rubber. The goal was to create an immersive, otherworldly atmosphere—perfect for visitors who doze off comfortably in the soft, foam furniture.

The installation is meant to be simple, accessible, and calming—just like sitting in Ditzel’s furniture should feel. It’s ambient sound that invites you to pause, breathe, and let the design and atmosphere carry you into a moment of quiet reflection.

We set up a surround sound system in the exhibition rooms so that the music would surround the visitor. The score was then controlled from a laptop with Ableton Live.
The sound bath was exhibited from the 16 to 17 March 2024.
