No Matter Where You Are 1st: Lyrics with Spanish to English translation 2.º: Letra con traducción de ingles a español 1st: She sees how you savor The whiskey on your lips [The drink hits you hard and you reminisce smiles] [She flirts for a cigarette and she flirts again to get you one] [You smile remembering your youthful cough] And you observe how she moves for you to see The curtain drops Chicago screams with joy Light posts wake up You are incomplete No matter where you are You are incomplete She no longer moves for you -- 2.º [Ella ve como saboreas El whiskey en tus labios] El trago patea y revives sonrisas Coquetea por un cigarrillo y coquetea uno para ti Sonríes cuando recuerdas tu tos juvenil [Y observas como se mueve para que tu la veas] [Baja el telón Chicago grita con deleite] [Los faroles despiertan Estas incompleto] [No importa donde estés Estas incompleto] [Ya ella no se mueve por ti]

about

César Dávila-Irizarry accepted the invitation to collaborate with Arup, a design and engineering firm that creates some of the most beautiful structures around the world (Sydney Opera House, Beijing National Stadium, The Modern Wing of The Art Institute of Chicago). Dávila-Irizarry chose to write “No Matter Where You Are”, an avant-garde Puerto Rican song specially composed to be played in Arup's Soundlab, a space with a 12-speaker surround system designed for the exploration of acoustics and the relationship between sound, design, and engineering.

“No Matter Where You Are” starts out with a solid afro-latino rhythmic foundation that holds the listener's hand as one goes through different musical spaces. Dávila-Irizarry connects the past to a bilingual electronic rock present with deep atmospheric harmonies and an intimate 360° dream-like sound experience that projects the beautiful multi-cultural futurist aesthetic that is becoming a rich part of our lives.

Lyrically, Dávila-Irizarry presents a portrait of love towards someone who is not around anymore. When these lyrics contrast against the song's multicultural electronic sounds, it all portrays the reality of modern day workers eternally missing those they love that live in places they have had to leave behind.

While the song's full 360° experience is only available inside Arup's Soundlabs, the music file in bandcamp is a special 3D headphones-only mix.
