This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: This reads more like an "artist statement" than an encyclopedia article. Independent secondary sources are needed. Seems to be a COI, so clean up may be required. Netherzone (talk) 14:22, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Noise From Iceland is an artistic-documentary project created to explore and capture the unique soundscape of Iceland. The project seeks to answer the question, "What is the sound of Iceland?" It was inspired by a meeting with a visually impaired tourist during a guided tour of the Raufarhólshellir lava cave, which highlighted the importance of sound and texture in experiencing the island.[1]
The project was initiated by Kaśka Paluch, a musicologist, musician, and producer[2], who aimed to collect and document the diverse auditory experiences of Iceland by creating an audio map of the island. Through this work, the project reveals the rich and varied sound environment of Iceland, with a particular focus on the prevalence of noise within the natural landscape.
The project's sound works have been incorporated into international art presentations, including by the Japanese collective Dumb Type at the Venice Biennale in 2021[3], and in Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Playback"[4] composition, exhibited at Haus der Kunst in Munich and in the Tokyo Modern Art Museum.
Noise From Iceland has been also featured in several notable events and exhibitions. It was presented at the Midpunkt Festival in Kópavogur, Safnanótt festival in Hafnafjörður[5] and served as a soundscape for a photography exhibition in Hafnartorg, Reykjavik.
