Sophia Emmanouilidou, Christiana Papakosta

This electroacoustic composition by Sophia Emmanouilidou is an ambient soundscape composition that its sound makes us recollect our memories of the sea. This composition is made of prerecorded material of sea recordings and noises with different sound spectra. Christiana Papakosta made a visual art video which comes to embody visually the whole concept of the piece. This video is regarded as a visual representation of our faint recollections of the sea.
