Loop Tower is a sound & video work created from recordings of the spinning mechanism of the Berlin TV tower. With the use of accelerometers and other sensitive sound gear Kirkegaard had access to the mechanics inside the massive spinning globe.

Recording the circular motion from the wheels, wires and bearing elements far above the ground Loop Tower is a commentary to spinning matter in itself; from ancient imaginary music of the planets to the use of loops in contemporary sound art.
