between june 2020 and may 2021 we did these realizations of
the gift. we recorded our own parts of the piece
(minami in tokyo, rubén in madrid) without previously
listening to each other’s recordings. then the
recordings were just put together without any modification
or editing. the only prior agreement was to set the duration
of each realization around five minutesminami & rubén
