ATXINE

The sonic space fuses traditional melodies such as those of the ttun-ttuna and the xirula with industrial sounds, generating a unique atmosphere. The life cycle of a woman and her “buruko” is reflected, symbolising her emotional and cultural burden, with a structure which changes throughout the narrative.
