In FRIDAY 4 voices recite multiplication tables in 4 different languages at the same time. The sound of the consonants creates a delicate and vaporous landscape, Numbers are recited like a prayer.
Are we the same person when speaking different languages? What territories are opened within us when we connect with other sound worlds and constructions of meaning?
Friday was recorded in a home-studio for the first time in Barcelona, 2016.
The present recording was made at La Isla studios, Barcelona, 2018.
