The Details of Listening

Migrations. A self explanatory title. The poem is clearly about the Hispanic conquest in South America, a pretty burnt out topic if you ask me. They arrived, there was blood shed, slaughtering of Indians, “stealing” of their properties, it was like an infectious over-abusing unwanted guest.


The slight twist that I found interesting in the video was the tone of voice and the audio support of the music to convey a -what is it?- feeling? The comparison between the end very dark-like with min 2:15 of the various words creates a wave-like quality which simply makes everything flow.

I realize I didn’t write much about migrations, but I really didn’t have much to say.
