Solastalgia
<p>These files were rediscovered on my hard drive. They are tracks I made in the past. I enjoy rediscovering sounds I composed at different points in my life. The idea of the file is a new opportunity for a living archive, to be heard again in the future. It is listening to a place that no longer exists. It is territory and time recording itself. When this sound was recorded, no one thought to save it. Vibrating. The living frequency was displaced by forced silence. It stopped sounding. Later, the archive is found. The listener hears it and imagines a place they never inhabited. The archive vibrates like a broken time capsule. It does not stop the loss. But: it remembers. The sound reveals that the world could have been different and that it was.</p>
