Montserrat (a phono-archaeology)

The film is a project that focuses on a Caribbean Island devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 1990’s. The film travels through the remains including the former radio station and the legendary AIR recording studios. The soundtrack is a mixture of on-site acoustic experiments, sounds of the island’s fauna and natural surroundings discovered in pop albums recorded at AIR in the 80’s, and music and voices found in disinterred tapes and vinyl.
