Cities And Memory

I was especially inspired by the rhythmic, stereo qualities of the traffic sounds. Their sound texture gave me new inspiration every time I listened to them.The reimagined piece is nostalgic and dreamy. I was really focused on the storytelling aspect, in a kind of post-cinematographic way. The composition is built partly from « tape music » using the original recording, then layered with two modular parts and a drum kit for the “heavy” section.The clicks of the pedestrian crossing are rhythmically inspiring, and the sounds of the tram doors feel like classical instruments, almost like violins. It was a real joy to play over them.My modular noise part is played with a strong focus on improvisation and co-creation with the instrument. I had a lot of joy working on this piece.Berlin transportation soundscape reimagined by Yimèr.
