Tina Mariane Krogh Madsen: vibrational difference # III (a remembrance of collapse) concert,
part of Block 4 dialogues I at Toinen Kerros by Äänen Lumo(Nokiantie 2), Helsinki (FI)
vibrational difference is a series of sound performances based on Madsen's geological field recordings from mine explosions undertaken at the iron mine Malmberget, Sabmé in June 2024, where sound waves are activated by human-induced seismic events which in the piece are the foundation for a gradual drone composition which bear witness to a dynamic and violent transformation of the landscape. The dynamite blastings are here witnesses of a resonance moving across the geological and the socio-political. The fieldwork and recordings undertaken at Malmberget took place every night at midnight where Madsen visited different locations around the mine area with a geophone. The first recording was the closest possible to get to the main pit and the following recordings had varied degrees of intensity, also beyond the audible, and on the last day some rock-matter collapsed as a consequence which also became an evident rumble many kilometres away.
In the performance and piece vibrational difference # III, Madsen uses effect pedals to improvise with the recorded sounds to evoke a relation to both colonialism and human infrastructural damage through the sonic traces of mineral extraction from the mining industry. The low frequency sounds are thus extending themselves across the site of recording as pulsating sonic matter which connects the listener to both resonances of remembrance but also as an access to direct geological destruction.

Tina Mariane Krogh Madsen (DK) is an artist and researcher who works between performance art, sound, open technology, and matter, in a mode of practising and collaborating with philosophy and geological agency. Madsen holds a doctoral degree (Doctor of Arts) from Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture (FI) at the Department of Art and Media, and has worked with facilitation and education in multiple frameworks. Madsen has presented their sound and performance work internationally and is the founder of performance protocols, a nomadic platform for instruction-based art and collaborative processes. Madsen is a member of the Finnish Bioart Society, the Eco- and Bioart Lab (LiU), and a certified facilitator of Deep Listening workshops from the Center for Deep Listening, Rensselaer Polytech Institute (US).
