The Sound Carburettor is a strange invention, a project devised by a group of creators who with the help of sound and water create a sculpture of salt. It is an integral part of a unique project by Damir Martinović Mrle and Ivanka Mazurkijević with the help of collaborators Vanja Travaš (HR), Andrej Škedel (HR), Zdravko Lenac (HR) and Ariana Suša (HR), in which music encompasses the central mission – the materialisation of the sounds of the city. The project of recording began with the recording of the sounds of the city from Trsat Castle which were recorded and processed and used for the control of a dispersion whereby a living sculpture of salt forms – an installation which grows and creates a new space under the influence of sounds. The installation is a publicly displayed artefact of the living, materialised sound of the city, a unique attraction with accompanying features.
“Every city has its own identity. Every city has its own sound, a frequency at which it pulsates every day, it shows its characteristic, distinctive signs of life. And what does Rijeka sound like? Captured in one its most recognisable points – the Trsat Castle, this identifying sound of Rijeka is combined with the unique sound structure that sucks in and disperses seawater. And all in order to return again in a new identity – a sculpture of salt. Materialised and unique, just like a sailor” says Damir Martinović Mrle about his work.
The promotion of the Sound Carburettor will be held during July 2020 in front of Exportdrvo and is an integral part of the Sailor Sweet & Salt Music Festival.
