about

The five tracks from this EP tell the story of the construction of Cabezas Bien Altas, an imaginary place where its inhabitants arrived after their city of origin was buried under the sea. Which scars of the past are left in constructions, sculptures, ornaments, folds and streets of the new cities? Can history be given to a place that does not have it? How to preserve the memory of a place that has disappeared? The idea of this work appeared by surprise one night as a dream, “a great wave was approaching us, it was going to sweep our island and nobody seemed to care much, there was a festive atmosphere and expectation, it was a unique moment. When the water finally destroyed the island, everyone swam to the nearest piece of land, as if nothing had happened.”

Los cinco temas de este EP cuentan la historia de la construcción de Cabezas Bien Altas, un lugar imaginario al que sus habitantes llegaron después de que su ciudad de origen quedara sepultada bajo el mar. ¿Qué marcas del pasado se dejan en las construcciones, esculturas, ornamentos, pliegues y calles de las nuevas ciudades? ¿Se puede dotar de historia a un lugar que no la tiene? ¿Cómo conservar la memoria de un lugar cuando ha desaparecido? La idea de este trabajo apareció por sorpresa una noche en forma de sueño, “una gran ola se estaba acercando, iba a arrasar la isla en la que estábamos y a nadie parecía importarle, había un ambiente festivo y de expectación, era un momento único. Cuando el agua finalmente destruyó la isla, todo el mundo salió nadando, como si nada, hacia el trozo de tierra más cercano”.
