Silk Road
From Turkey to China, through Iran, Uzbekistan, Mongolia... This playlist captures the notions of journey, travel, and itinerancy. It evokes the memory of majestic caravanserai, the wide crossings of Mongol highlands. Influenced by local folklore, we also hear the relationship to aridity, the harshness of the climate, and the panoramic impression that captivates the spectator.
