La voce delle formiche/ The Voice of the Ants, Klaas Hübner, 2019.
The Voice of the Ants is a radio piece born from an experiment.
Three artists visited the village of Satriano, located south of Naples, with only a day of overlap to pass on their impressions and to listen to the radio show that the one before had created during his stay. It was intended that each would pick up where the other left off, to create a new piece related to the one before.
The Voice of the Ants is a collection of thoughts about Satriano and its surroundings accompanied by field recordings and sounds of Klaas’ instruments. It is the second piece in the series of three, created for la radio da quaggiù in Satriano which was part of programming by the 2019 European Capital of Culture Matera.
