Fire and memory

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

"I was captivated by the collective choral singing and the way the melody naturally became fractured and glitched through the layering of voices and their echoes bouncing through the streets."The main vocal melody became the backbone of the piece, with alto clarinet framing and responding to the voices before drones and distortion gradually emerge. The rhythmic clapping provides momentum for the second half, carrying the music forward as the singing slowly dissipates into the distance, leaving the clarinet alone to complete the melody."Venetian ghetto soundscape reimagined by N.Kleiner.IMAGE: G.dallorto, CC BY-SA 2.5 IT <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/it/deed.en>, via Wikimedia Commons
