Ramón to release a soundscape composition from Venice
March 2024
Ramón De Marco will release a soundscape composition from his time during his residency in Venice as an album. The piece is called “l’ora senza nome” and will be released via the Italian label Galaverna. The soundscape composition is an extraordinary journey into another dimension of Venice and explores the lagoon in the context of acoustic ecology. The album contributes to a sensitisation to the way we interact with this fragile habitat and shines a light on its beauty and diversity. The release date is set for the 21st of March 2024.
