Ether Ground Ep 2 - أرض الأثير الحلقة الثانية | Dirar Kalash

Dirar Kalash presents "Ether Ground" -- a series of four episodes of soundscape compositions commissioned by Radio Atheer. The compositions were done using around 28 hours of field recordings from different places and times across Palestine, and through utilising different soundscape techniques like sound processing, transformation, over-layering and other editing techniques. The original sounds are put in a new context that emphasises the complexity of the sonic environment in Palestine, in all of its forms: The natural, urban, rural, political, and beyond.

The second episode focuses on different aspects of the dynamics of sound, captured in the city of Ramallah in different locations and times, which are then reconstructed as if happening in one time and space. This is to reflect the different aspects of space in the city of Ramallah, as a city in constant transformation, and where we witness its simultaneous expansion and shrinking of public spaces, caught between constant construction and demolition works.
