Donika Rudi - Aura I

Donika Rudi: LAMENT OF THE EARTH 
Acousmatic version

Lament of the Earth is a piece dedicated to the effects of climate change on Earth. The work is built based on the graphics of warming stripes, which visually portray long-term temperature change on the surface of the Earth.
The beginning of the work focuses on organic and human sounds, mainly on calmness and harmony, while the culmination is achieved with transformed and distorted sounds.The work addresses what we all feel but do not speak, look but do not see, something that affects as we remain indifferent.
Every living being is an integral part of the Earth, as such we rise and return to it.. This work is the medium between the listener and their long-lost genome, as it tries to explore the existence of each of us with a call, a call to listen and act before it is too late.
