Winning work in 2008 of the 15 CONCURSO DE CREACIÓN RADIOFÓNICA organised by Spanish National Radio and the National Centre for Musical Diffusion.

I am like a wall. Each of us is like a wall, a grey, empty wall, situated in a universal space. But not a wall of separation, a wall to mark boundaries…, but quite the opposite. It is a wall where various brushstrokes of our life are engraved, some happy, others sad… Memory rescues these brushstrokes from time to time, and we enjoy or suffer them again…

With this idea, a project was born which, over time, has ended up taking shape in this particular sound wall: a wall where those who walk by its side are offered the freedom to express, in a totally free and playful way, a cry, a smile, a denunciation, a dream, a poem, a memory, a game. … They are all accomplices, even without realising it, and each and every one of them has been shaping this heterogeneous and colourful canvas, until our grey wall has ended up sporting a splendid and suggestive sound graffiti.

Some contributions are totally timeless, others quite the opposite; but all of them, together, make up the unique voice of diversity: different sexes, different ages, different races, different cultures, different social levels…

The “street” where this wall is located is myself, because what they all had in common is that they “walked” through me and through my life in one way or another: friends, relatives, colleagues, acquaintances… Some passed through this street at full speed, and I remember them only vaguely. Others left their mark forever, probably, unless time eventually wears away the tiles of my memory.
