Abandoned olive press

Cities and Memory - remixing the world

This recording captures the haunting ambiance of a long-forgotten olive press nestled in one of Portugal's remote and ghostly regions. The structure, with its collapsing roof and decaying machinery, stands as a testament to a bygone era. Venturing inside, I sought to capture the rich textures and unique sounds that permeate the space. Some of these sounds possess remarkable spectral qualities, embodying the essence of abandonment.
