Bogotá: A Promise Between Silence and Noise
<p>In Episode 20 of the <em>TIMEZONES</em> podcast series, four artists discuss the duality of Bogotá: a vibrant yet chaotic city full of contrasts – rich in culture but marked by violence, diverse but segregated. How can ambient music provide a way to pause and reflect amidst the noise of everyday life? Produced by Luisa Uribe.</p> <p>Producers Mav Nuhels, Ezmeralda, dj +1 and composer, sound artist, and interdisciplinary creator Ana María Romano discuss the contrasts of Colombia’s capital city. They share how they use sound as a tool to navigate their personal histories and reflect on the cultural landscape of Bogotá. They explore the broader social and political realities of Colombia and reveal how ambient music not only creates a contemplative space and escape from the overwhelming daily life, but also becomes a subtle form of resistance and storytelling within a challenging urban environment.</p>
