Andrea Ancira, aag (https://soundcloud.com/andreaanciragarcia), is a Mexican writer and researcher based in Mexico City. Through non-transparent, noisy and inaccurate recordings, her sound work explores the ways sound shapes our sensibility and understanding of a shared world. She’s interested in exploring the role of unwanted, residual, marginal sounds and of popular music in the collective unconsciousness.
Titled 'Intimate Involuntary Destiny', read Andrea Ancira's description of this unique piece.
Sounds that aim to share an unfolding listening experience of a “short walk” in Yautepec, a small city located 100 kms South of Mexico City. Self and sound interweaving in each step. A mass of sonic messages, interferences and sonorities that constantly challenge the boundaries between the public and the private, the past and the present. Infinite possibilities of contact and escape. A walk that propels my imagination to land in a map of popular love songs that shaped my sentimental sensibility. An ideology of contradictory narratives and feelings. Rather than banal invocations of a personal realms, popular love songs express ways of recognition, belonging and of relating to alterity that pervade in our collective unconsciousness. Through a distorted/uncanny interpretation of how these representations relate to this place, I wander through my struggles around these questions.
