Frank Ekeberg is an artist and researcher primarily concerned with the sonic arts. His work explores issues of ecology, time, space and change. He uses almost exclusively natural sound as source material, and spatial aspects of the sounds and the listening environment are integrated as essential elements of the work. Ekeberg has composed and designed sound for concert performance, dance, film, theater, radio plays and multimedia installations, as well as created real-time, interactive installation systems and sound sculptures. His work has been presented in festivals, exhibitions and concert series in more than 30 countries around the world, earned several international commissions and awards, and can be found in numerous public and private collections, museums and libraries.
