Memories of Earth

Memories of Earth" is a sound composition that delves into the evolving relationship between humans, Earth, and technology. It highlights the loss of our connection to Earth's natural rhythms and biological systems as urbanization progresses. The piece reflects on the transformation since the Industrial Revolution and digital advancement, where noise pollution has supplanted the sounds of wildlife with mechanical hums, questioning the human role in this new landscape. How do these changes affect our emotions and deepen our disconnection from Earth’s systems?

The composition places us aboard a spacecraft, emphasizing our growing distance from Earth as mediated through urban and technological development. This physical, digital, and conceptual separation alienates us further from Earth's essence. The experience of floating in a spaceship engine captures the confusion and disorientation of the digital age—a vast sea of information that leaves us existentially adrift, losing touch with the roots and narratives that ground us. It questions our future direction while evoking nostalgia for a past where life was more present and connected to the tangible, analog world.

"Memories of Earth" ultimately highlights the increased alienation experienced by individuals, prompting reflections on where we are headed and the emotional and existential implications of our new sound environment.
