Cecilia Castro über 'ROMA':
... Now that we live in an electric environment of information coded not just in visual but in other sensory modes, it's natural that we now have new perceptions that destroy the monopoly and priority of visual space, making this older space look as bizarre as a medieval coat of arms over the door of a chemistry lab.
(War and Peace in the Global Village, Marshall McLuhan)
ROMA proposes a timeless space. A future built on ruins of an aural past where all its sound elements are reused and arranged in a new scene that questions our perception of time, space and everything that human pretended to order in there. In this situation, the sampler and the sound banks are like a great archive of sonic information where we do archeology of consumption, production and attention.
