Tvísöngur

Tvísöngur is an intriguing sound sculpture located near the town of Seyðisfjörður in East Iceland. This unique piece of art is created by German artist Lukas Kühne and consists of five interconnected concrete domes of varying sizes, each of which amplifies and modifies sound frequencies in different ways, creating a harmonic experience for visitors.

The key feature of Tvísöngur is its ability to focus and play with the natural sounds of the environment, such as the wind, human voices, and even musical instruments, transforming them into an auditory art form. The structure is built to resonate specific musical intervals from traditional Icelandic folk songs, making every visit a unique acoustic adventure. Its location on a hillside overlooking the fjord enhances the serene and spiritual ambiance, inviting guests to engage with the landscape through sound.

Situated just above the picturesque town of Seyðisfjörður, Tvísöngur is easily accessible via a short hike from the town center. The town itself is nestled within a stunning fjord and is known for its vibrant arts scene, charming wooden houses, and rich cultural history.

Nearby attractions include the Seyðisfjörður Church, known for its striking blue exterior, and the Skaftfell Center for Visual Art, which offers contemporary art exhibitions and activities. Additionally, the surrounding area provides a wealth of outdoor activities such as hiking, bird watching, and exploring the scenic landscapes of the Eastfjords.
