Asphalt, metal, robots and sound.
This work performs a reading of the invisible, the memory and the soundscape by means of purpose-made robots that check if the surface can record all the activity that happens on it. The pieces of asphalt become vinyl records that a needle makes sound. Through the scratching or reading of the different grooves we hear their background noise, perhaps translating the sound of the rolling of vehicles and the walking of pedestrians. This work receives the title of the song by Leño, who at the end of the 70s was one of the reference bands of urban rock with Rosendo at the helm.
