STRUER TRACKS 2023

BIENNIAL FOR SOUND AND LISTENING

CURRENTS
Struer Tracks is a five-day biennial for sound and listening in the public space of Struer, Denmark. This fourth edition, titled Currents, will be staged across various locations, presenting in/outdoor sound installations, performances, radio, workshops and lectures. Resonating the essentially ephemeral qualities of sound, the 2023 programme reflects on a world that is constantly changing.
Like sound, our worlds are shaped by the accumulation of moments, arising and collapsing together in time. A time that is not merely a given dimension, but one that folds back upon, gathers and unfolds itself. Embedded in this temporal space, we are exposed to rhythms and sequences, differences and disturbances, worlds capable of flowing and easily changing shape.
In nature, currents are patterns of moving water that influence climate zones and weather patterns across the globe; in technology, current is charged particles flowing inside electrical devices; as an adjective, current describes what is happening or existing at this very moment in time.
Serving as a metaphorical image of a world in a state of flux, this year’s programme reflects on the currents of life, and what it is like to be surrounded and carried along by them. Through installations and performances, we are invited to listen carefully to what is experienced in the moment, remembered from the past and envisioned for a future that might not be far away.
Struer Tracks 2023 is created in collaboration with Regelbau 411, SMK Thy, Struer Museum, Struer Library, Struer Church, The Lake Radio, SPOR Festival, IMPULS Festival and Nordic Podcast Conference.
This year’s programme has been curated by Matilde Best and Jacob Eriksen.
