Susanne Skog

Born 1965 in Falköping, living and working in Stockholm/Sweden

First sound art work: Tvärsäkerhetsindustrin 2001.

 

Since 1993 I mainly work for the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation. I am a recurrent contributer in SRC, the sound art-periodical of the Swedish Radio (www.sr.se/src). I am also a cultural writer for a number of arts magazines and daily papers.

 

I have a background in underground theater. In the early nineties I studied philosophy at the Stockholm University and was one of the founders of the leeding Swedish feminist magazine bang. 1993-95 I was a student at the University College of Film, Radio, Television and Theatre (DI, Stockholm/Sweden).

 

I do most of my sound art work at home on my own computer, at the Swedish Radio and at EMS (Institute for elecroacoustic music in Sweden). I use almost only documentary sounds, which I process in different ways, and then use as a kind of musical material. I am interested how far you can take those sounds into an artistic (non-documentary/journalistic) composition whithout losing all of their autenticity. What happens to the sounds, a narrative or what a person says when you change the context, and when? Or if you turn it into music?

 

I have also done some pieces of experimental radio drama, e. g. trying to mix quite traditional radio theater with thick electroacoustic sound carpets. I also transformed a scene from a documentary recording into directed radio drama played by actors who didn’t know anything about the origin of the manuscript. Then I mixed those versions of the same episod so that the listeners could hear them both at the same time. These kinds of displacements, transformations and changes of mening interest me a lot.
