'This piece was made during a residency in Elvas (Alentejo, Portugal), in the context of the first edition of the festival A Salto, in July 2016. Each of the invited artists was given a specific place where to develop a work to be presented during the festival. I spent a week at Fábrica Frutas Doces, a small "factory" dedicated to the preparation and confection of prunes and plum in syrup. Frutas Doces isn't the only factory of this kind but it's the only one operating exclusively in an artisan way.
There, Luís and his only other employee were cooking the plums, adding fire to the already high summer temperatures of around 40 ºC.
This has to be done when the plums are collected, preserving the fruits at their best, so there is no escape from hell. I recorded bits of our exchange of words while they were doing their job. At home, I worked with a collection of vinyl records and made a composition using ones and the others.
For Beniko uses samples recorded at Fábrica das Ameixas and various vinyl records.'
