Songlines
The drawings of the political borders between the countries of different continents constitute the sound score of Songlines. Each score brings together all the frontiers of a single continent and is then sounded.
The compilation of all Songlines‘ drawings and songs forms a kind of sound map of the borders of land between all the different countries. Music composed by Marcelo Cabral.
The term songlines refers to the sound maps created by the original people of Australia: instead of the maps being drawn, they are sung in songs that describe the physical spaces and narrate the paths traversed.
