Athens is a city on top of a city with smaller cities existing inside larger communities. There are gaps and overlaps and unspoken boundaries. With carefully selected details, Amara Hark-Weber describes the portions of other people?s lives she has access to in her Athens' apartment.
In this we can see how the echoes of one of the first cities reverberate through all urban life today.
Production is simple, Ms. Hark-Weber?s delivery is almost austere, but ultimately connects with the listener. Programmers shouldn?t make the assumption this piece, because of its Athens setting, is about traveling or the ex-patriot experience. There?s something going on under the surface, just as Ms. Hark-Weber tells us there?s so much below the city where she lives ?atop a three thousand year legacy.?
