"The short piece for Tel Aviv is based on the recording of Daniel Rosehill and I thank him very much for the material he shared with me. This recording describes the urban environment of the city, (horns, cars, horns, horns, footsteps, sirens) is short and has some small noises at the end. I could describe it as technically difficult and that's why I chose it. I considered it a challenge! 

"Also, Tel Aviv is a city I would love to visit because it has a sea, which I love, 300 days of sunshine a year, a warm climate and is located on the Mediterranean. So, I find many similarities with Greece, my country. That's why in the track I needed other sounds outside the original recording that I thought would be compatible with this polis. Sounds like wind, sea, footsteps, dogs, broken glass, thunder, etc.

"The piece is structurally divided into 3 parts. The first, main part and the other two are repetitions witη small variations. Technical treatments involve Pitch-Shifting, Time- Stretching, Granular Synthesis, Delay Lines and Filters.
Maybe there is a little fictional story behind the sounds. Did you listen carefully?"
