Medea is an original sound composition based on recordings of radio interceptions
Medea is an original sound composition based on recordings of radio interceptions and field recordings compiled by Soundwalk Collective during a two-month journey by boat along the coasts of the Black Sea. Equipped with radio scanners, field microphones and long-range antennae, and reaching into the countries of Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Crimea, Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria, Medea embarks on a sound reading of a region of the world whose quivering beauty remains cruel and obscure, akin to the ancient Medea. Soundwalk Collective is an international art-collective based in New York City. Since 2000 they have been sonic nomads, embarking on never-ending journeys, from retracing the path of Ulysses in the Mediterranean Sea, to the Rub' Al Khali desert of the Arabian Peninsula,
