Kilifornia Field Recordings

Location: Moran Park, Upper Section.

This area contains large areas of water. Please be mindful of your surroundings.

A composition of field recordings realised on the Kenyan coast around the town of Kilifi. The area is located very close to the equator, at the Indian Ocean. All sounds were collected between 2019 and 2021 while Jastrubczak was working as curator on the “Duos Festival” - a project of cooperation between Polish and Kenyan artists, and realised with the support of the “Transcultural Perspectives in Art and Art Education” research grant.

The artist wishes to mix this composition, which represents the complex sonic ecosystem of Kilifi Creek, with echoes of the past and present ecosystem of Moran Park. Once featuring pond with a tidal inlet connecting to the sea, Moran Park’s water landscape echoes Kilifi Creek’s own tidal rhythms, offering a point of resonance between the two sites. By overlaying the sounds of Kilifi with the memory and textures of Moran Park’s water, the work highlights the shared patterns of coastal and urban waterways and invites listeners to sense connections between distant ecosystems.
