this piece is a first attempt at exploring the notion of gibraltar’s bioregion and imagining its possible identity; an on-going listening exercise: polyphonic score of the strait of gibraltar.

departing from the terms of phonocene and bio-acoustics that describe the encompassing, multilayered and multiplicious sound- worlds (more than-human and human). this, is an invitation to tune-in with the shared sound frequencies that converge at the strait, from the mineral to the ‘levante’ —water and vocal cords— from the core to the wide.

escuchando el estrecho was made during the art in residency ‘pathways and thresholds at the strait of gibraltar’ hosted by colectivo ‘la espiral’, during the autumn of 2024 in facinas, spain. the in situ presentation of the sound piece was done in the form of immersive listening sessions while walking by the facinas mountain range overlooking to la janda.
