MEDEA - soundwalkcollective

Medea

What do art, boats, and radio noise have to do with each other? If you’re the fine folks at Soundwalk Collective, the answer is everything! Their new composition, Medea, was recorded over a two-month crossing of the Black Sea, cutting together captured sounds and radio signals from all across the region. This otherworldy installation will be premiering at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, France on May 4th.
