Cities and Memory - remixing the world

It-Tlett Ibliet

04 Dec 2025

Description

The recording was made at the harbor of Malta’s Three Cities: Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua - which sit directly across from the capital city of Valletta. The sound of church bells dominates, their deep tones reverberating over the water, creating a harmonious link between these historic cities. As the bells toll, the sounds of modern life emerge - vehicles moving through narrow streets, boats moving, and people chattering about their day. The calls of birds overhead add further richness to the scene. This lively mix creates a beautiful marvel of sound, with the Three Cities and Valletta facing each other across the water. The bells serve as a constant, marking time, while the noise of transportation and daily life adds contrast and movement. An instance of a dynamic play of sounds, where the bells, movement, and natural elements come together to form a unique soundscape. The result is a vivid portrayal of life around the harbor, where each sound contributes to the rhythm of the space, reflecting the energy of these historic cities. Recorded by Serge Bulat.
