Il Mondo

Mercato di Porta Portese reimagined by Juan José Ripalda.

"I heard this recording of a market and immediately wanted to use the wide variety of sounds to talk about commerce, trade and how I feel when I’m in a big market or mall surrounded by repetitive sounds and voices.

I wanted this piece to be very rhythmic and colorful and to have separate sections or episodes, so I thought of doing something in the spirit of “It’s gonna rain” by Steve Reich. I made this piece using only editing and very little processing."
