Winner of the 20th Música Viva International Competition of Electroacoustic Composition (2019), awarded by a jury composed of Gilles Gobeil (Canada), Trevor Wishart (United Kingdom) and Miguel Azguime (Portugal).

This piece explores the memory that sounds carry from the moment they were taped. In stitching together candid recordings made years apart, it attempts to conjure the relative events as well as to cast them in a sonic amulet. The tension between the acoustic sources, the digital projections and their inmost content draw a network of remanences, a multiplex of signs. The work becomes a pool of possibles, never to be decoded but open for all to wander.
