Art, in all the wrong places

M. Cristina Marras

Characters who can"t always be trusted. Because they often don"t see the difference between sound and noise, between countryside and abandoned building, between fiction and reality. I explore sound, speak languages and talk to strangers. This is my work. AIR Member. www.cristinamarras.com

2025/05/24

Forget your morning latte, folks, because the city's daily dose of WTF is already brewing! Today's public service announcements veer into the delightfully deranged, leaving us scratching our heads and wondering what exactly they're putting in the water cooler at City Hall.Whether a deliberate artistic experiment or a product of a malfunctioning system remains a source of speculation. However, its impact on its audience is undeniable. By embracing the absurd, the Announcement has sparked

A sonic reflection on the monotony of our daily routines.With a touch of irony and a hint of existential angst, I present the symphony of mundane sounds that mark the passing of our days, a never-ending loop of bodily functions and technological hums. This is our absurd, repetitive existence.Photo by bady abbas on Unsplash[15/10/2023]

Sound(s) Matter(s) [for Cities and Memory]

Art, in all the wrong places ·

2025/05/24

This piece is a reflection on the concept of space as sound. Space understood not as a visual concept, but as an auditory one, as the connective tissue between all of the objects in the world, carried to the perimeter and to the center. A voluminous environment that emerges from an exquisite global polyphony. This piece was inspired by Mathias Hinke's lesson 'Demonstrations and fun cultures' which explores the role of sound in specific non-musical social settings and practices.Manchester

Hold Your Breath ________(60" of silence)

2025/05/24

Audio Club is a place to meet, workshop and develop ideas through monthly audio challenges. This intriguing experiment launched by All The Best Radio, kicked off with the first challenge: create 5-7 minute pieces about anything and everything in the whole entire world.The catch? The piece had to incorporate 60 seconds of absolute, pin-drop silence. This is how I tackled the challenge, remembering the women and men who fought and sacrificed for the elimination of the fascist regime. Forever

Gigi Riva and I

Art, in all the wrong places ·

2025/05/23

This is a story about Gigi Riva, the legendary Italian soccer player who "led the modest team of Cagliari to win the Serie A championship in the 1969-70 season." While it portrays Riva as more than a player—a demigod whose name is whispered with reverence and his deeds immortalised—it’s ultimately a tale of childhood, wonder, memories, and a touch of mischievous revenge. Without giving too much away (there is a twist!), this 12-minute story will surprise and enchant, offering an unexpected

A tale of cultural neocolonialism. This podcast is inspired by my personal experience, as someone who grew up in Sardinia surrounded by stories and boasts about the journey of the famous English writer D.H. Lawrence, and his wife Frida through Sardinia.Lawrence visited Sardinia in 1921, after becoming bored with rainy Sicily. He spent just over a week there, during which time he wrote a book in which he described the island and its people. I find Lawrence's portrayal of Sardinia and its

The smell of naphtha

2025/05/20

I venture with my namesake Cristina Marras along the Mining Trail of St Barbara, across the Sulcis mining area of Sardinia, gruelling isolated goat trails swept by the ubiquitous mistral wind, but also breath-taking glimpses of views and beaches with water so crystalline that it always reminds me of stained-glass windows in churches. And suddenly the smell of naphtha, motor oil, takes me back to my childhood.See some of the pictures taken during the trip. Written, edited and produced by M

My take on Piazza San Marco's soundscape. A narrative interpretation inspired by the memory of a trip that I took to Venice many years ago with my Australian boyfriend who didn't manage to captured with his toy camera the beauty of a deserted Piazza San Marco. My last trip to Venice resulted in a surreal feeling as I found myself alone in the square. [11/09/2021] Created for Cities and Memories
