Cities & Memory - Duet for breaking waves and the horizon (Caloura)

from Sounds from Portugal by Cities and Memory

about

Waves in Caloura, Azores, reimagined by Cities and Memory.

"Looking directly south from Caloura in the Azores, there's a good chance that if you sailed directly south the next land you hit might be Antarctica. Staring out at the horizon, with only the wheeling birds overhead anchoring us back to dry land, the temptation to contemplate the infinite is even stronger than the usual compulsion that strikes when recording ocean waves, and the mind wanders. This piece is a duet between the waves of Sao Miguel island and the infinite distant beyond, represented by piano lines and quiet synths interplaying, performed live across five tracks in reaction and response to the wave recording."
