The story of tomorrow

"My composition focused on imagining how I would like to feel in my future city, taking into account the keywords of the project: well-being, health, climate-safe, green, equitable, as well as my personal sensations: harmony, balance, respect, warm environment and encounters.
"I think about how to generate awareness to take action regarding these issues in search of the world we want to live in tomorrow. We are defining the future with each of our small actions. What will the story of tomorrow be like? What do you want your future city to be like?
"Through this composition I invite you to a journey of reflection on our small decisions as well as our will to create synergies to develop ideas of sustainability and ways to fight climate change.
"The sound file I chose from the library is a field recording of a crowded food market in Taiwan. It interested me because it reflects sonically a space of encounter and tradition and because it is deeply linked to gastronomy, a world in which I have been doing musical projects for many years. I use this sound as a layer in the middle of the composition, with which I mark a moment of change and welcome a delicate and emotional piano interpretation."
