Night-time
For three days, the studio was open to the public from 11:00 to 19:00.

Merging spaces
in collaboration with Elia Torrecilla
Two simultaneous improvised sound walks in the streets of Valencia (Spain) and Badefols d’Ans (France).
Sounds were created through the improvised use of everything we encountered while walking.
The continuous exchange of the live sounds over the phone allowed for immediate feedback and reaction.
Both recordings were superimposed in the editing process,
and retained their own stereo structure,
making them part of a shared sound space.
