"The Medellin traffic sample shapes both the atmosphere and structure of the piece. In the opening, isolated fragments—like engine hums and the sharp sounds of brake noise—are presented with minimal processing, immersing the listener in the city’s raw soundscape. 

"Following a moment of silence, which contrasts sharply with the noise, the piece evolves as these sample fragments create semi-random rhythmic patterns, capturing the unpredictable yet rhythmic essence of urban life. In this way, the sample influences both the texture and flow, defining the composition’s organic and dynamic form."
