While everyone is dancing outside

"Being a migrant means facing everyday life in a lot of solitude. Our emotions and our memories are interwoven with an internal dialogue, they become diffuse and palpable, close and far, weak and strong, all at the same time. They inhabit us and resonate in our body and environment. Pablo Ojeda reflects this journey with a soundscape in which a migrant is doing a housework, while other people are making party outside.

"I tried to make subtle emphasis adding textures and accentuating certain resonances, as a metaphor of this inner reflection and the infinite transformation of our memories, while trying to keep the structure and narrative of this Spanish scene. I am a Mexican, and this piece was made while living in Hamburg, Germany, after moving into other three different European countries in the last two years."
