Can you hear the ocean?

"With this composition I wanted to refllect Lara’s feeling: she said in her presentation that the sound of the highway she captured in Moscow, where she is currently living, reminded her of the sound of the sea she could hear in Vietnam where she resided before. I tried to weave the noise of the cars with a recording of waves. The cars' horns I added are gradually replaced by conch shell blowing, and we can hear some seagulls.
"I then improvised with a synth to add a surreal, nostalgic touch to the piece. I wanted to transmit the impression that our migrant minds/ bodies are constantly drifting between places, like in a dream. I live by the sea, being a migrant too, so this, for me, was my answer to Lara’s sound: a postcard sent from the ocean to the other side of the world."
