about

How do borders sound? How can sound help us articulate the existence of borders that normally remain distant or imperceptible to our senses? How can sound place us in a position from which borders – cultural, political, cross-generational and between species - can be scrutinized?

In March 2021, Walking Festival of Sound launched an open call seeking fixed media pieces - e.g. soundscape compositions, soundwalks, field recordings - that critically and creatively address the above questions. From a large number of submitted works, eight pieces were selected and broadcast through the festival channels.

This album gathers those selected works (alongside an additional contribution) in order to help an organization that supports migrants in difficult circumstances at borders. All income from the distribution of this album will be transferred to Ocalenie Foundation, a Polish NGO offering practical and legal help for migrants crossing Polish and EU borders. More info on en.ocalenie.org.pl. Currently (as of August 2021), Ocalenie Foundation is involved in helping Afghani migrants stranded at the border between Poland and Belarus.
