Elisabeth Moritz exhibition "Steget mot det förflutna" is showing at Konsthallen Sandviken 28 february - 22 march. The soundinstallation "Det glömda modersmålet" is part of the exhibition. The composition for this installation is by Jakob Riis, commisioned by - and based on the ideas of Elisabeth Moritz.

All sounds in this work are generated from a recording of E. Moritz mother reading the text "Die Vergangenheit als Gegenwart" by Martin Walser, where the melodic and harmonic structure of the lullaby "Wiegenlied" by Franz Schubert are shining through, and creating a framework for choosing sinusoidal tracks to follow in a re-synthesis of sounds generated from the recording. The composition is presented in an 8 channel soundsystem with specially designed loudspeakers.
