There is a musicality to the sounds of a city: the lingering resonance of a church bell, the subterranean rumble of an approaching train, the cacophony of cyclists, cars, trucks and trains in transit, and the gentle, pulsating drone that emanates from streetlights, power lines and ventilation ducts. These sounds create a meditative counterpoint to the intermittent rhythms of the urban soundscape. Their performance combined live and processed horn and field recordings with the sonic environment of Estufa Fria de Lisboa to create an immersive and physical experience of sound and space.
