The Listener Series - Alexandre Pinto - memory

It is common to develop strong associations between a piece of a music and a particular period (or moment) in our lives. Proust wrote precisely about the same phenomenon, only with reading instead of listening. Could the entanglement of trigger and thought become intentional, curated, and provoked – a calculated circumstance guarantee for a given sound to engage the change of scenery in the theater of the mind, and to give way to a moment, any time, forever? This is a small meditation on memory, communication and community, driven by chance and curiosity. Includes excerpts of: 森の目覚め (Awakening Of The Forest), by Takashi Kokubo (小久保隆) (from Oasis of the Wind II ～ A Story of Forest and Water ～ (風のオアシスII～森と水の物語～), 1993) Han Yan - Carl Stone (from Himalaya, 2019) an assortment of recordings, including Jannik Lindquist on the ukulele, Alvilda Reiter Jakobsen & Amanda with guests and friends on various instruments, a football match in Greece, a café somewhere in Ljubljana, parties, etc. words by special guests Sarah May and Jannik Lindquist, to whom the utmost gratitude is extended and a full performance of Blink, by Hiroshi Yoshimura (from Music For Nine Post Cards, 1992).
