More Info

The hum of traffic from afar brings back fragments of memories from the past. Lately I've been visited by memories from a simpler time, NYC in the early years of the century, and my friend Richard Garet is often on them. We shared many musical and artistic adventures then before geography made physical contact impossible, the musicality of memory became evident and prompted a piece that doesn't describe or narrates a story but that mixes the grey sound of the city (Caracas) at it's quietest with fragments from my archives and reconstruction by memory of sensations long gone but that some days feel really close in time.
