¡Ciao!
What is a first impression if not something we experience with fresh ears, eyes, mouth, skin, and flesh? In a new landscape, feeling out of place is normal, but it is not comfortable.
The questions spoken throughout the beginning of the recording duly ask the broadcasters what it is like to broadcast, while also raising the stakes of how it feels to not know what is being asked. Because it is spoken in Italian, not our first language, we are forced to struggle with the uncomfortable fact of being ‘out of the loop’ in language and social ability.
What is it to be uncomfortable if not to wrestle with the unknown of a first impression? To lag behind the rest of the people around you? To feel separated, different, and a bit dumb at times?

This was a creative idea! It really illustrates the way it feels to be surrounded by a language you don’t know! I’ve noticed so many different languages being spoken here it really blows my mind!
This sounds amazing, you did a great job on it! 🙏
I really enjoyed this, how the voices overlapped with the different Languages was really cool. and then it faded into the instrumental. Nice job!
