La Llum del Somni is a project in two formats: a sound installation to be held at Cafe Oto
(London) and the Tàpies Foundation (Barcelona), and a
discographic edition in book-CD format to be published by the Hegoa record label.
It is a piece created from field recordings made in
various locations in Brazil, Colombia, Iran, Morocco, Galicia, and
Mallorca. The project arises from the union of ethnographic research and
sound experimentation: ritual and listening, territory and memory.
