For the international project Sonic Heritage by Cities and Memory, Richie Herbst contributed two works that explore the relationship between sound, place, and cultural memory.
The field recording “Echoes of the Sacred” was captured on 13 May 2023 at the Battistero di San Giovanni in Pisa. For the project, the material was recomposed by Kent Macpherson.
Richie Herbst also created the piece “ASRASRASR call”, a recomposition of the field recording “Call to prayer at 4:45am, Essaouira” (Morocco).
