The Museum of Sound is nomadic and in flux, it exists in no specific place and is rooted in the essence of sound and listening. Tommi Grönlund and Rikke Lundgreen created the initiative while preparing the exhibition "Mika Vainio 50Hz" at the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in Helsinki, Autumn 2020. The late Mika Vainio (1962-2017) had a habit of inviting friends to his home, to play them music recordings in silence, with full concentration. In the series of the listening rooms, the aim is to create a similar situation, an empty room full of sound. For the listening room at Extreme Chill, Museum of Sound will present a playlist of Vainio's compositions especially selected by Rikke Lundgreen and Tommi Grönlund. How can music trigger an emotional response? Everyone has a relation to sound and it is often very subjective. The listening room has the intention to get back to listening as a focused and prioritised activity, were you do nothing else than listening. With no distractions, listeners can create a narrative from their own connotations, just to experience sound. Rikke Lundgreen was the late Mika Vainio's spouse. As an artist and curator, she works with sound in various projects, and is based in Oslo/Norway. Mika Vainio's studio, archive, and collections of records and books, remain in Oslo, where he lived with Lundgreen. Tommi Grönlund runs the record label Sähkö Recordings, which he started with Mika Vainio in 1993. As an artist, he partners with Petteri Nisunen as Grönlund/Nisunen. Grönlund lives and works in Helsinki/Finland
