Rare Minerals
an album of urban experiences
Rare Minerals has a long journey ahead, stuffed with a curiosity that can only resolve by going out on the fields. The format of an album compacts five "tracks" of urban experiences, distributed across the world, and is inspired by the hybrid nature of the object of exploration itself, which is a coordination of refusals: sound > unsound, matter > non-matter, visible > invisible.
The journey is, so far, in its quarter as you will see bellow. The five "tracks" of the album (aka urban experiences) are all different in their outcome and they depend on the charm and challenges of each of its locations: while the first Mineral is located in Sweden, Stockholm, in a place reserved for collective memory and silence, the second Mineral is in a much more alert and disputed territory, Israel. Both Minerals though, as well as the upcoming ones, jam with the sonorous substrate of each place to hopefully rest with its spirit, in stillness.

Mineral #1
Mineral #1 is an experience in a place reserved for collective memory, where life and its extensions become uncertain. The project is a sound design written exclusively for the 110 hectares of urban landscape..

Mineral #2
Mineral #2 is attempting to open an old Pandora Box. The choice of its location is well aware of the dangers, but this is what adventure is about: learning.
So far, the project is set on hold due to the tensions in the region, but welcome in to have a sense of its stake.
Scouting for Minerals
The three left Minerals are still searching for their location and possible candidates are Bhutan, Japan, The Arctic, but it is too early to know.
One Mineral at a time.
