soundscapes On-site & Online June 7th
Sound Desert is the outcome of an artistic exploration carried out in Arica; the [current] Chilean city that borders Peru and Bolivia, in the heart of the Atacama Desert.
The project consists of five works as diverse as the territory inhabited by them. A sort of auditory promenade along the coast, the multiplicity of voices in an international bus terminal and in a farmer’s market, the ecosystem of an endangered wetland, and the ghosts of an unoccupied train station; are the elements that invite you to hear the sounds of a borderland.

“Sound Desert” is his first sound art project, which won the Field Recording Award at the 28th Phonurgia Nova Awards in France. This sound piece has also been selected to the Longueur d’ondes, New York Radio Awards, UK Audio Drama, RIDM Montreal, Tsonami festivals, among others.
