CHEB RUNNER

Behind every dune in the confinement-desert, there is a voice that reminds of home.

“This musical composition is a somewhat nostalgic trip down to memory lane of familiar places that represent my neighborhood and give this idea of home. We can hear Giant Belgian Horn, Proxi Express, Snack Baraka, Coiffure du Center, Moka Café, Café Floréo, Les Brasseurs and Beurs Station. The composition is born from the urge to relive COVID reality Brussels by memorializing and conserving the feelings then perceptions of the places that I visit in my daily routine. By recording both the voices as the objects during the post-covid, it enables me to recreate this persecution of a certain visual dimension to make it more authentic and human. These recorded elements were processed by effects and mixed with the synthesizers to add a layer of fiction by engaging the imagination of the listener by experiencing the desert feeling during the confinement.” — Cheb Runner
