As an editorial choice, the flute’s short opening idea evokes new generations of wētāpunga observed on islands; the strings’ replies reflect on nets recovered from the sea; the returning theme suggests care for Beirut’s railway archives. Piano, strings and flute follow the same design in serene, reflective and lively arrangements. These are editorial associations, not a sonification of data or sounds recorded at the locations in the stories.
- Wētāpunga recovery continues, one generation at a time
- Sardinia: over 22 tonnes of fishing gear removed
- Beirut’s railway archives find a home again
