Friendship sonification and field-recording sound composition 
2020
Droevendaal
This composition is an intimate sonic journey of my friendship with Esteban. In this piece, I take food as a lens to talk about identity and interpersonal relations. Asking multiple common friends in the Netherlands the question: ‘If Esteban would be a dessert, what would he be?’, we composed together an interwoven sonic metaphor of friendship. End of 2020, Esteban returned to his home country Costa Rica - a move creating physical distance between his and my life. Listening back to YOU, AN UNSOAKED RED BEAN is an evocative step into the past which brings back a sense of closeness. It is a reminder of the power of sonic mediums to transcend geographical distances and create spaces of proximity.

'I twinkle
across the
distance, not
really knowing 
your point of 
view. Are we
the glass
the world pours
into, or is it
our love that
saturates 
the world?'

III words by Maggie Nelson III from the poem Still Life

Cherish the Day (Remix Kurup/Sade)

One winter evening in a loving cave
where curtains where drawing dynamic lines 
of sub-places
in that 
magic place
we call home

I fell in love
with the potential 
of this
multilayered rhythmic piece
