“The idea for the piece first came to me in 2005, when I was invited to develop a sound project with the city of Lisbon as its theme. I decided to wander through the city, making a series of sound recordings using a pair of binaural microphones. What I concluded from these recordings was that, more than capturing the sound of the place or its \u201catmosphere\u201d, they reflected a lot about me: my decisions of where to go, what places to avoid, how fast to walk, how long to linger in one place\u2026 preconceived ideas of what I wanted to be captured on tape.<\/p>\n

Later I followed up on this idea by introducing an element of \u201csonic sightseeing\u201d. I grabbed a tourist guide of Lisbon, walked along the recommended hiking routes and made recordings with binaural and shotgun microphones. I wrote down my impressions, states of mind, mental associations and decisions and then mapped the recorded sounds against these notes, considering them as \u201cinstructions\u201d or \u201ccues\u201d for a sound composition.<\/p>\n

I suppose that the experience that tourists get from a city is in great measure determined by the randomness of these almost unconscious impressions, of a permanent mapping out of what they see against their desires, preconceived ideas, memories, etc. All in all, my intention was to convert this process into a method for sound composition using field recordings.”<\/p>\n

(Rui Costa, 2009)<\/p>\n

Sound recordings made by Rui Costa between 2005 and 2008 in Lisbon, Portugal. Composed and mixed by Rui Costa in 2008.<\/p>\n
