The Tourist

The Tourist is lost. He can't sleep or tune out the music that comes from everywhere. Secretly, he's looking forward to the journey home.

The Tourist is lost. He can't sleep or tune out the music that comes from everywhere. Secretly, he's looking forward to the journey home.

Combining lush field recordings and a stark written narrative, The Tourist obliquely approaches the story of a fictional traveler, a melancholy innocent abroad.

Text and recordings by Martin Williams, including extracts from James Clifford's Routes, John Berger's Here is Where We Meet, and William Basinksi's The Garden of Brokenness. Featuring the voices of Ana Bonaldo, Haimo Li, and Maike Zimmermann.
