about

The Sunsets on Mars are Blue is also an electroacoustic work focusing on the idea of coexisting contradictions. Composer DM R samples NASA’s recordings of the dry, mechanical yet violent sounds on Mars and contrasts them with field recordings of protests, chants, and Neo-Colombian Folk songs during Colombia’s unrest between 2019 to 2021.

“The use of these snippets emphasizes the vastness of disparity,” DM R said. “The blue sunset consumes the red planet into darkness. One may interpret it as hope or as an apocalyptic nightmare.”
