Explore the soundscape from one of the largest industrial parks in Northern Europe, covering an area over 3,500 acres. raw factory sounds and ambient soundscapes take you on a nostalgic journey.

Jernverket A/S a Norwegian company based in Mo i Rana, a town located in the northern part of the country. The name "Jernverket" translates to "the ironworks" in English, indicating that the company has a historical association with the iron and steel industry.
The company was established in 1946 as a state-owned enterprise to produce pig iron, steel and other metals. Over the years, it has undergone several changes in ownership and restructuring.

the red smoke:
When I visited my aunt in Mo i Rana in the 70s, I could see that the fence, which should have been completely white, had a red tint to it, caused by the red smoke from the iron works. Hanging out the laundry was the housewife's nightmare, the clothes could turn red if the wind direction was unfavorable. The red color was visible for several kilometers around the factory on buildings and objects. We all got used to this and didn't think too much about it.

Using the LO FI knob on Walrus Audio makro series (M1) pedal (for Lo Fi sound in different places).
