With more than once having dealt with possibilities of “end” as humankind, Rubble is a sound design made from the perspective that scattered remainings of something that was once whole is also quite powerful – and ultimately, capable of a different sort of wholeness when reassembled.

Rubble is a sound design originally developed as part of a performance entitled “Crossing” that took place at Oficina Cultural Oswald de Andrade – in São Paulo, Brazil during my time as an artist in residence in the Project “Residência Arte Vai Passar”(2022). 

The original sound of falling rubble was captured during a renovation in this historically-heritage-protected building in the Bom Retiro neighborhood and the design is the result of a series of dissections and agglomerations of these remains.
