First Light's Third Space #20 - Dania & Rosso Polare

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

In this episode, head of Paralaxe Editions, Dania, is joined by experimental duo Rosso Polare.

For the first hour of the show, Dania takes us on a soundwalk around Barcelona. The sounds of the city's residents singing in the park, reciting poetry, and playing the Iranian tar are mixed with traditional Catalonian music and recordings of Barcelona's infamous pigeon population.

In the second hour, Anna and Cesare (Rosso Polare) chart a journey from the Lombardy countryside into the urban bustle of Milan, accompanied by bursts of folk song and traditional chants from the region.
