The history of the oil cistern is the key to open the door to the translation of the space. What used to be a factory in the past is becoming a more organic place in the present. Still the imprint of the sulphite factory remains in the environment. The patterns of the walls, inside and outside, make the graphic score for the piece. By letting the cistern lead the way through the composition, both auditorily and visually, the structure becomes transparent, translucent and transsonic.

Every place contains traces of events that have occurred over time, like a geographical palimpsest. Around the cistern is the natural fodder for future crude oil (plant and animal matter), below the cistern is the land from which Swedish culture flourished, and far below is stone: the spine of the earth that we tap into to satisfy our societal need for fossil fuels. Deconstructed sounds, field recordings, and footage from the oil tank have been pieced together with traditional Swedish herding calls (’kulning’). Data charts of oil consumption and demand have been used to shape the narrative structure of the piece, which depicts the transformation of natural processes of decay into processed materials that have the ability to empower and endanger.
