Wooden Feedback - Nine Boards, 2026
Cassette release and performance at Konstnärshuset, Stockholm.
DSI 029; “Wooden Feedback - Nine boards” is an audio feedback composition by Stockholm based artist Jordana Loeb. With a background in printmaking, woodcarving and dance, Loeb’s work naturally gravitates toward manifesting motion in static, yet vibrant forms.
In “Nine boards” – a collaboration with composer Anders af Klintberg and the most elaborate installation of Loeb’s sonic sculptural performances to date – nine carved wooden sculptures form a self-generating feedback loop. Through transducers, contact microphones and measured movements Jordana Loeb urges wood into song.

Exhibition Text -
Apple Pillars: echo
Roots churning,
twisting upwards through its core.
Wind brushes decay
hollow armor form.
Holding, grappling
a December weight.
Ground unsettled and disheveled,
glimpses of pointed yellow remain.
My wood dealer revealed a secret, a process that I would have overlooked. The act of peeling and releasing, unmasking a serpentine of muddled and burnt. The diagonal cuts are intentional. Time continues to carve, exposing waxed cores and wrinkles. The artist transitions from preserver, mortician to creator. Head stretches against, a vacuumed hum resonates. A wooden memory stick.
