The drawings of the political borders between the countries of different continents constitute the sound score of Songlines. Each score brings together all the frontiers of a single continent and is then sounded.
The compilation of all Songlines’ drawings and songs forms a kind of map of the borders of land between all the different countries.
The term songlines refer to the sound maps created by the original people of Australia: instead of the maps being drawn, they are sung in songs that describe the physical spaces and narrate the paths traversed.
