Sounds of the routeBadlands 2021 (Day 4)Day four was probably my best day, I felt I had such powerful legs and so I pushed to the mountains, dropped my friends for a while and enjoyed the steep landscape in solitude. Once we reunited and eat together, we reach the Mediterranean, climbing Cabo de gata leaving other riders behind, finally facing the hell of the beach, stormy and wet and Almeria where we ate a very nice and so much needed burger. After Almeria, we decided to hit the road to find a smaller place to sleep, but we didn´t expect such a challenge, in t...2021-10-0906 minSounds of the routeBadlands 2021 (Day 3)Day 3 started in good company, Paolo, Ricardo pushed side by side, sharing the best conversations you can have while crossing the hell. not so much climbing, but the desert of Tabernas received us with its 40 degrees celsius, after a delicious lunch, we faced the challenge that ended in one of the worse terrains I ever rode, a dried river.2021-10-0706 min
Sounds of the routeBadlands 2021 (Day 2)After a hell of the first day in which I had 7 punctures and I got seriously dropped, the new day started very early. 4:00 am and I was already climbing out Gorafe, according to my tracker, I started the day in position 140, feeling a bit sick and with the morale literally on the floor. I decided to continue until my body decided it was enough, something never happened. With every minute on the bike, I felt stronger and I just kept pushing and pushing until the end of the day. A hard day, by the way, Gorafe desert, an insane...2021-10-0606 min
Sounds of the routeBadlands 2021 (Day 1)I had the pleasure and of course the pain of ride on one of the most hardcore Ultracycling races in Europe The Badlands, a race around Granada, across deserts, highlands, beaches and beautiful small villages. I recorded some audio that may be interesting for you. I think it may be part of the last project, sounds of the route, but you decide.
The first day started plethoric, I was literally on fire, feeling extremely strong and capable to finish this race in a very privileged position, at least among the first 30 finishers, but rapidly my expectations got...2021-10-0505 minSounds of the routeA performance art festival in front of Haufbanhof - BerlinI ended my bike trip in Berlin, of course, as a performance artist, I had to finish this dream in some way close to that world.

Anyway, despite being lost in the mountains, I enjoyed the gravel experience, the insane gradients on the ascents, the mosquitos and bees and the two crazy descents. Here is a small audio taste of how it sounds the loneliness os the slovenian mountains. By the way, now I know where Roglic and Pogaçar train. 2021-09-2204 minSounds of the routeCampeggio Obelisco - OpicinaI arrived a bit late to Trieste without finding a place to sleep, I rode 200 k with my bike and at that point I was exhausted but then I realised I had to bike at least 10 kms more in order to find a good place to put my tent, out of the big city. The only problem was that those 10 kms had 20% gradient in average. after all the suffering I arrived in a camping place and I recorded the sounds of what happened around my tent. 2021-09-2105 minSounds of the routeBuranoHalf an hour by ferry from Venice, I found the beautiful island of Burano, a small place full of artisans and colourful houses.

Sounds of the routeTione di TrentoRight before the presentation of a futbol team, which is very traditional in the area, I stopped to have an ice cream and this was the sound of everything around me.

The noise and the music disappear and everything is calm, just a few people on their way to work.2021-08-1306 minSounds of the routePiazza del DuomoMilan appears to me like a white jewel after an insane ride of 200 km. I arrived in Piazza del Duomo when the night was slowly coming, despite not so many people was there, the environment was noisy, musical, festive.

Despite the huge amount of traffic, the landscapes appear to me very calm.2021-08-0906 minSounds of the routeZurich and the café VoltaireZurich was waiting for me with some rain, but once the sun was out, my good friend Wathiq invited me to downtown for a guided tour. he is also a performance artist and knows some of the most important points of the city. We went for example to the mythical Café Voltaire, where Dadá was born. sadly it was closed for reparations, we could get in and see the process but no coffee for us this time.
