Listen "Seven days before"
Episode Synopsis
"Built from a field recording by Anders Vinjar of Ramallah’s Al-Hisba market, captured one week before Israeli soldiers set it ablaze, Seven Days Before transforms the market’s voices, footsteps, and ambient bustle into a slow-moving reflection on memory, loss, and the fragile beauty of everyday life via modular synthesis.
"The source recording is processed through Make Noise Morphagene and accompanied by melodies provided by Mutable Instruments Rings. Glitchy, fragments of melody emerge and dissolve through further processing. This layered approach allows the original soundscape to remain present yet altered, a sonic parallel to how memory holds onto places that no longer exist in the same form."
