Echoes A by Maximilian Wolfgang Schwarz | for multi-percussion → sheet music: https://www.editionsvitzer.com/catalo... Echoes A〈Memories of Agbogbloshie〉thematises the illegal export of waste to poorer countries and the resulting poisoning of nature and groundwater - with serious health consequences for the population - focusing on the example of the now violently demolished ‘Agbogbloshie’ landfill near Accra in Ghana. The alienation of nature through the destructive dumping of old electronic scrap in Central Africa contrasts with the local struggle to escape poverty, with one possible solution also being the transformation of the undignified labour conditions on the landfills towards new sustainable recycling industries. With Echoes A, I would like to draw attention to these mostly invisible consequences of our throwaway consumption in the Western world. For example, the Odor River near Accra is now completely dead, the region's groundwater is contaminated and the nearby Korle Lagoon is one of the most polluted bodies of water in the world. ________________ Composition: Maximilian Wolfgang Schwarz Performance: Maximilian Wolfgang Schwarz Publisher: Edition Svitzer Label: Svitzer Music Recording and Mixing: Maximilian Wolfgang Schwarz Mastering: Karl Godejohann Camera/Editing/Color Grading: Johannes Schirbock Stage Manager: Gisbert Grünwald Lighting: Amelie Bissinger Discover More by Maximilian Wolfgang Schwarz: Constellations I | for solo marimba → sheet music: https://www.editionsvitzer.com/catalo...
