Braided memory (Lech)

from Cities and Memory - remixing the world · host Cities and Memory

"I approached the River Lech as a memory machine: wide air and landscape, close water detail, and the river’s vibrations. These hidden resonances became the harmonic spine of the piece. "The composition stays faithful to the original source while drifting into abstraction: selective time-stretching and spectral sculpting reveal submerged textures; granulation turns droplets and foam into a fine acoustic dust; site-shaped reverberation merges perspectives into one blurred, dreamlike space. "What begins as a recognisable current slowly becomes a palimpsest: the river as presence, then as afterimage."Section of the river Lech reimagined by Giuseppe Cordaro. -------Flow is a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound. The project is a collaboration between the University of Padova and the University of Würzburg, with support from Cities and Memory. Explore the full project at https://citiesandmemory.com/flow.
