Teto Ocampo siempre en nuestra memoria. Y en mi mente también toda la familia paleofuturista que hoy lo recuerda y que sigue entretejiéndose, sigue manteniendo la energía creativa, sigue aprendiendo, valorando el conocimiento ancestral y la vida en todas sus formas.

This sound and Cecilia's conception and poem was in turn the basis for the film made by another long-time collaborator of hers, Rob Kolodny. This film was first screened at the Highline in 2021, now you can watch it along with another fantastic new video.

Cecilia and I made the music based on her poem. We recorded that piece in 2020; her poem conveying a sense of loss, urgency and eroticism in the same piece resulted in a ecstatic and focused rendition where her voice plays with layers of sound I created improvising with the piano and synthesizer.
