Audio extract from 9’11″ by Soundwalk Collective, a two-movement composition based upon the September 11th, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.

Movement One is a journey with an actual New York firefighter on location from the first plane hit, to the fall of the last tower. Movement Two is the enormous silence following the final collapse.  It was the closing of the 20th century. All the sounds you hear around you now, belong to the 21st.
