Part of the Migration Sounds project, the world’s first collection of the sounds of human migration.

"The composition is structured around fleeting field recordings (sometimes manipulated) from my own walking travels, mostly of street musicians, or musicians practicing and heard from the street, but also of various ambient sounds, including recordings from London, Athens, Cagliari and Reykjavik. Poets, musicians and birds migrate from far and distant places; they too wander and bring the sounds of other lands and languages with them, mixing and blending along the way. Overall, my aim has been to pay homage to this: the travelling Radiance everywhere; the road that welcomes everyone and everything unconditionally."

Part of the 'Sonic Heritage' project by Cities and Memory, 2025. 


What are the living sonic expressions inherited from our ancestors?

The soundscape hopefully evokes my imaginative journey in trying to respond to this question, taking the original field recording itself as a point of departure. My idea has been to dissolve boundaries, to express the movement of waves and to allow for the invisible radiophonic liquidity that we are all part of to emerge; it seems to me that both through tangible and intangible waters, all our different islands might be connected, and perhaps that currents of our heritage are always travelling to shores much further than we think.
