    uniE608 Filtered Through Memories
    The project “Filtered Through Memories” is a 3 piece poetry and string written by Matias Santos. It's based on childhood memories and reflections of how it was growing up as a 2nd generation immigrant in Gothenburg. By blending traditional Western classical music with folk and contemporary elements, Matias harmonizes the experiences and struggles you face as a composer in a country with a different culture than your own.
