Between fear and hope

Cities and Memory - remixing the world

"To create this small sound piece I only used a sample from the original recording, a moment from the bus journey that is part of the narrative of the original recording and which seemed to have an interesting sound dynamic. From that sample, I changed the recording tempo and added electronics, from the Touch Me device, using plants, as well as ambient electric guitar.
"Were those migrants on the bus afraid of the future, in a distant country or, on the contrary, did they find lost hope and a happy future there?"
Moldovan bus ride reimagined by Luís Antero.
Part of the Migration Sounds project, the world’s first collection of the sounds of human migration.
