An editorial note introducing a previously published article.
A recorded voice recalls childhood skies; musical editing allows other listeners to grow attached to that account. This reading of The Orb follows the relationship between sampling, memory and attention. Recognising a voice also raises questions about the person speaking and the reuse of her recording.
The article belongs to the Lodigiano Democratico column Il pensiero in cuffia. The original includes a listening itinerary and its musical references. This note points towards that route while leaving the complete discussion with its publisher.
