Stranger butterflies

"Although migration has always been a part of human history, because of catastrophic circumstances there are many people leaving their homelands behind, and starting new lives. Homesickness can bring back piercing memories which can suddenly feel far away and forgotten and later on popping up like plants in the rain.
"A familiar butterfly, but different in this new place is a comforting reminder and also strange. But the butterflies are used to migration. The soaring violin, leads the memories, while the voices fade in and other sounds take their place to lead in a new direction."
Istanbul violinist reimagined by Lostworldsounds/Michelle Breslin.
Part of the Migration Sounds project, the world’s first collection of the sounds of human migration.
