This is an electroacoustic piece about Stockholm with concrete sounds of Stockholm. In this composition, there are different sections in contrast that, for me, describe some aspects of this capital, such as: the agitated commuter life, the metro and public transport, the rhythm of a big city, the restful nature and the sea. Different parts and moods that all together create what has been this place for me, especially in the early period. So, this can be also a personal way to work on my thoughts and impressions as a foreigner who moved, from a small town in Italy, to a new place, a new city and a new urban reality. What I’ve seen, what I’ve heard and especially what I’ve felt.
