about

An ongoing meditation on derive, abandonment and devastation through the streets of Lisbon, a city suddenly stormed by a tsunami of gentrification, lack of habitation, where the helpless and the destituded seek shelter.

Review

"Petition pour l’abolition de la musique concréte en Lisbonne Vol. I looks behind Lisbon’s beautiful facade to investigate its homelessness problem. Voices in Portuguese, Spanish, and English describe the city from different perspectives—young women enthuse about its excitement and unpredictability while a nun narrates her difficulties in helping unhoused people through prostitution, alcoholism, and drug abuse. Literary readings cast oblique light on the situation, as in “a bag of water,” which features lines from Maurice Blanchot’s story “The Madness of the Day” (“I have been poor, then richer, then poorer than many people…”). The field recordings presented here are not of busy public areas but of back streets and abandoned buildings, made more eerie by Marco Scarassatti’s wind instruments. It’s a compelling yet harrowing portrait of a world capital, steely-eyed and humane."
