Mount of Olives

Cities and Memory - remixing the world

"For this track, I used the field recording made by Anders Vinjar on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. This place has always had a mythical resonance to my ears, it sounds like a place of sacred peace, but obviously it is no longer.
"What I tried to express through this piece is how a land of peace gradually transforms into a place of conflict, how what was once a sacred site has become a battlefield. After starting calmly, the recordings and sounds become confused, the rhythm breaks, something is wrong…
"One day, the Palestinians will return home, but nothing will ever be the same again."
