The absence of the one who walks manifests through the eternal presence of its pathway. For carrying stones to the top of the mountain is to become not only the stone but the mountain itself, it is to carry on the back the weight of the Earth and of all Men. And even if such burden makes us fall down the hill, the circle of the absurd ends where it begins - with Sisiphus smile -, and so we climb again uphill. We follow Alagoa in this persistent journey that takes us from silence to the piano keyboard, merging laptop electronics with field recordings of a small hill that he visits since his childhood.
