Composition made for De Stem van West (www.destemvanwest.nl). De Stem van West is a web-radio station about the urban life, social-cultural shifts and daily life in Utrecht West.

This composition is about the many contrasts that can be found in the Kanaleneiland neighbourhood in Utrecht West. To sonify these contrasts, I used the metaphor of inner vs outer. Recording the unheard resonances of the neighbourhood as well as the busy daily life, and juxtaposing these, I wanted to let the listener feel the way that life in Kanaleneiland can be.
Keeping the source material intact was very important to me. I used a whistled motif of a marketman and a sung phrase of a child and transformed them into something musical to build on.

The picture is by Liset van der Laan.
