Glänta is a sound installation by undergraduate student Antonio Fryk. Sixteen meters of magnetic tape are played in a loop through a modified reel-to-reel tape recorder.

Experience the piece in combination with a sound performance in Gallery Konstepidemin’s rugged Bergrum (The Mountain Room), where Fryk utilizes equipment including cassette players and contact microphones.

Antonio Fryk

Antonio Fryk’s artistry is expressed through sound, sound installations, performance and drawing. He uses older analogue equipment such as reel-to-reel tape recorders, magnetic tape loops, cassette tape recorders and cassette loops, but also contact microphones to record and create sound with his body and with different materials.

Fryk has a background as a musician and songwriter in styles such as rock, punk and noise and has worked in a kind of “Do it yourself spirit” for many years. This is reflected in his artistic expression in that he likes to use found material, found sound and used sound equipment and lets the rough aesthetics and sound from it be an asset.
