Description
The initial seed for this project was planted in 2020 when Nicols Jaar wrote the song “Piedras” for a concert at the Museum of Memory & Human Rights in Santiago, Chile. Between 2022-2023, it took on a new form as a radio play entitled Archivos de Radio Piedras, which was shared on a dedicated Telegram channel. In 2024, the play was converted into a 24-channel installation at the University Museum of Mexico City (MUAC), where it was exhibited for five months.
Piedras 1 & 2 is a collection of the tracks featured withinthe play, all new music by Jaar, but partly presented within the play as the music of Salinas Hasbn (the name a compositehomage to Jaar’s grandmothers, Graciela Salinas and Miriam Hasbn). The play follows two friends mourning the disappearance of Salinas Hasbn, a musician and writer who vanished in the early 2020s. Although they live in a future where technology is advanced, they resort to DIY radio methods because the anonymous group “Las 0cho” has launched a worldwide attack on undersea internet cables, causing a global internet blackout.
