“My Arduous Desire for a Poetic Memory of Lisbon” is the latest sound project by Walker Journey, the field recorder alter ego of Ignacio Córdoba.
It focuses on the sound aspects that circulate in the landscape and urban context, a process that has been carried out both in isolation and in a participatory manner, through a series of interviews and community involvement in the selection of different locations.
The result is an audio installation with sound collections from the city of Lisbon, playing with the memory of places, the identity and iconography of the capital. The piece establishes a game of correspondences and associations between the intangible medium of sound and visual matter.
On the occasion of the opening of the installation, on March 14that 6PM the artist will shortly introduce his practice and will be available to discuss his project.
Ignacio Córdoba's residency at Zaratan is supported by Culture Moves Europe, a project funded by the European Union.

BIO: IGNACIO CÓRDOBA is a small person from a small village in the mountains of Madrid (Spain), based in the Copenhagen experimental and improv scene. His musical journey has turned him into a shaman mistaken for a scientist, an engineer of his own confusion and an apprentice devoted to the craft of being lost. He makes Magic with Electricity. He makes electronic music that blends sound-art, drone and experimentation with instruments that he invents and builds himself. Ignacio uses it to succumb into a body-trance state that shamans and witches have described and experienced for centuries. In 2016 Ignacio founded the collective label MAGIA and has released music with it as well as with Gotta Let it Out (DK), Repetidor (SP), VIC (PT) Dokuro (IT) and Punctum (CZ). He has since played more than 200 shows over 6 European Tours through 17 countries and a Japanese Tour. He has collaborated with artists such as Michael Pisaro, Pamelia Kurstin (Stickney), G.W. Sok (The ex), John Russell, Maggie Nicols, Søren Kjaergaard, Maria Laurette Friis, Kazehito Seki, Johanna Borchert, Fernando Junquera (Negro), Isasa, Ainara LeGardon and many more.
