Hidden Adriatic by Manja Ristić & Robertina Šebjanič
"Incredibly deep conceptual sound art about mankind’s impact on the natural world, particularly its waterways and specifically, the Adriatic Sea of the title. Constructed of layers of field recordings, subtle synth tones and other mysterious timbres, this is a visceral, impactful listening experience, somewhere between musique concrete and drone." (Ether Diver)
Hidden Adriatic is an immersive sonic exploration crafted by the collaborative process of artists Manja Ristić and Robertina Šebjanič. This project delves into the intricate tapestry of soundscapes within the Adriatic Sea and its interconnected rivers flowing into it.
Through this sonic journey, the artists delve into the fragility of our endangered environment due to anthropogenic presence. Their creative process is guided by profound intuitions, necessitating an extensive exploration of the site's trans-disciplinary history, rich biodiversity, and personal observation.
