This audio piece is a journey through the 5th Avenue of New York City, from the Empire State Building to Central Park. It reflects the contrast between the hustle and bustle of the city and the peace you can find in some quiet places hidden in the noise of the city, in which you experience like if you have traveled to another totally different place, but you still in Manhattan –because you keep hearing all those noisy sounds now in the distance, far from you and your calm.
My goal was to create, through sound, two different moods or atmospheres that altogether serve to represent a journey through New York City, a magical city full of working people in a hurry during the day, and some calm at night, as well as it owns some places where you can escape from the noise of the daily life and its responsibilities.

NYC Sound-Postcard By Carla Tomillo

In a rooftop where smoking is forbidden, employers and employees (3 women and 3 men) escape there for more than just satisfy their addiction; also to release their angst, concerns and desires, while they wait for the rain after two years of drought.
It is a dramatization of Sergi Belbel's play 'Després de la pluja' (1993).
