Hello to you all!

It has been a long time since I last poster a new script... A long time indeed... Anyway, here is the last production of mine. It is guided meditation immersing the listener into a train ride through a terraformed Mars, (inspired by Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy) where he/she will have a nap, not sleeping but just chilling down and enjoying the place and his/her situation.

There is longing, long journeys on and between planets, people left behind so far away, but also a general and diffuse pleasure – I hope – caused by the landscapes the listeners travel through, landscapes of a planet that once was a place of death and now is full of life. There is also the pleasure – chaste this time- of wearing a breathing mask on your face, being fed air by a machine, being given the possibility to enjoy life in a place where human life should be impossible. And also, perhaps, the pleasure of traveling through a world when humans built and seeded life instead of destroying it. And perhaps also a way to evade the current times by imagining that having to wear a mask can have positive implications (although I thought about this script before the coronavirus outbreak).

The resulting audio is supposed to be listened to while lying comfortably in an armchair or your bed. Or, even better, alone in a train riding through the landscape. I wrote this script imagining a feminine voice telling it to my male self, but I feel like both the voice and the listener can be of any gender.

"The train is going at a regular speed…

And this smooth movement reminds you of those dreams you have…

Those dreams where you fly above the green countryside…

Mountains, far away, and clouds, puffs of cream, floating above you.

Above you in the beautiful, beautiful sky…

The beautiful purplish blue sky…

This beautiful sky that stunned you the first time you saw it...

How long ago was it? So many years…

This beautiful sky that stunned you the first time you arrived here.

The first time that you landed…

That you landed on Mars.

On Mars…

On Mars…

The alien world that became your home… "
