A Broadcast Of Your Silence

 

• And I sing again.
  This time I won’t whisper,
 because this time it’s for you.
  I hear about you on the radio,
 and I’ve seen the pictures of the boss and his henchmen—
Hatred and determination in their eyes.
 Their actions leave no doubt:
 to them, you are garbage.
 The history that came before echoes faintly.
 And here, routine carries on.
 On the radio, 
a broadcast of your silence.

'A Broadcast of Your Silence' came about almost by accident, after several failed attempts to write for solo double bass.
 It turns out Rafa Ramos Sania needed more than just technique —he needed an emotional spark. The trigger was the constant stream of war and violence Ramos kept hearing on the radio. Then, over the course of just four days, these pieces emerged. Each track was composed in a single day, driven by the same emotional current. There’s no virtuosity or ornamentation — just a double bass in dialogue with sonic landscapes built from my archival recordings of the instrument itself, as well as field recordings, detuned radio sounds, and gentle electronics. This is music born of urgency, of the world’s noise, and of what that noise stirs within.
