Episode Details

"On first listen to this field recording of Lisbon’s tram (elétrico), I was struck by the prominence of a musical note contained in the hum of the system’s wires. This ghostly tone resonates like a singing bowl as the tram and its passengers navigate the city’s narrow, hilly streets. I imagined it as the centrepiece of a film score, and this is the result."
