Urban Gardens was composed with recordings from a trip in Europe, where one can discover public gardens, as well as their urban equivalent: airports, train stations, malls, etc. I was inspired by the inexhaustible energy of those objects and locations, in stark contrast to the twenty World War 2 museums and memorials that I’ve visited.
