Fluyen (they flow) is an electroacoustic work composed in response to a video-score by Andrew Emond and Sandeep Bhagwati. The images of Montréal’s human-made tunnels contrasts with the naturally occurring cenotes — underground water caves — which are representative of my home in Mexico. In both subterranean worlds, water passes through different states of being — sometimes turbid, sometimes clear. What stories does the water have to share? And are we willing to listen?
