L’Encanyissada

Site-specific participatory performance for Eufònic Festival 2023.

Participants were invited to navigate in puntonas (traditional fishing boats of this region) a pre-mapped sailing route divided into two sections: a circuitous route through natural canals where participants were given guidelines for deep listening to the Encanyissada soundscape; then a second section which began once all the puntonas arrived in an open lake. Here, drifting freely in the morning breeze, participants listened with headphones to a piece they had previously downloaded on their phones, which I composed using sounds I had recorded from the waters directly beneath them.
