Lisboa Soa’s goal is to stimulate listening in order to better understand the place we occupy and awaken a greater awareness of the impact of human presence on the planet. In 2021, after five editions – one of them especially intense in a year of pandemic and restrictions – Lisboa Soa decided to “listen back”, commissioning four compositions from four Portuguese artists, who dived into the festival’s sound archive and created new interpretations and meanings from it. It is from these compositions that this album is composed: a work about memory, with ears set on the future.
Compositions:
João Castro Pinto, Efflux
Sara Pinheiro, Do que Ressoa
Mestre André, No Earlids
Ana Guedes, Splicing_archives_
