Edwin van der Heide
Edwin van der Heide's Spiral of Time offers a gentle, non-intrusive auditory portrait of Plaça dels Àngels in Barcelona’s Raval neighborhood, inviting us to observe changes in temporal and meteorological patterns, the varied uses of the space, and the subtle shifts that occur from day to day. By presenting soundscapes over different intervals—hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly—it helps listeners perceive the scale of time differently and understand how the square evolves with each season and moment. In this podcast, we sit down with Edwin van der Heide exactly to discuss this work. We reflect on concepts of time travel and spirals, on creating staged memories and living archives, on the far-reaching sounds that traverse the square, and on the intriguing possibility of expanding Spiral of Time to encompass diverse, non-human landscapes.
