Circuit 01: A Wave is Coming Towards You, by Mathilde Urfalino

The creative process behind the audio work "A Wave Is Coming Toward You" centers on the visceral, non-verbal expression of long-held emotional tension. Mathilde Urfalino explores the sensation of feelings trapped between the chest and throat, seeking to release them through cinematic soundscapes rather than traditional narration. This approach aims to create an immersive experience that transcends its three-minute duration, allowing listeners to project their own imagery and dreams onto the audio. A recurring dream of being trapped in a seaside cave by a rising tide serves as a parallel for the deep anxiety and the physical "weight" of unspoken emotions. By prioritizing atmospheric sound over scripted dialogue, the work attempts to "scream out" these internal pressures, ultimately defining this experimental audio format as a necessary emotional departure from the standard news cycle.
