Commissioned by the CTM Radio Lab, Lynn Nandar Htoo and rEmPiT g0dDe$$’s "Resonant Resilience" explores the experiences of individuals displaced by the ongoing political turmoil in Myanmar and the harsh regulations faced by queer communities in Malaysia. Through field recordings and electronic compositions, they fuse soundscapes with dynamic visual art by Gabriel Htoo and Sarah Hanan.
Nídia and Valentina continuously meet 'on the road', sharing a sonic adaptation to the urgency and context of different environments. "Estradas" ("roads" in Portuguese), born from the Sicilian heat and refined under English rain, transcends cultural and environmental barriers, showcasing the duo’s rhythmic expertise and connection through intricate beats and infectious melodies.
