Abstract

This article interrogates the notion of north in sounds, and finds it embedded within and intrinsically linked to its geographies and sites. Considering sounds from across the spatiality of the Nordic region, and temporally from the earliest preserved examples to contemporary modernist Nordic music engaged with topographical matter, the discussion explores the music it engages with as deeply connected with the sites from which it grows, yet resisting easy definitions of a place-sound relationship. ‘North’ cannot be teased out of this music as a single definition, but emerges as a multi-layered, complex interaction between sounds and sites, narrated and re-narrated through their performativity and as aural experiences.
