B-Side(s) The Tower is my personal version of the Tower of Babel. God punished man by making them speak different languages because of their ambition to reach him through the construction of the tower. Using a quote from “Richard III” of William Shakespeare: “Tomorrow in the battle think of me” - that also gives the title to a Javier Maria's book. I asked people from different countries that I’ve met throughout my life to record a similar sentence. The sentence does not refer to our relationship and shared experiences. For certain people the only way to pursuit happiness is through immigration; this is my homage to the families back at home of these modern heroes whom affront the battle everyday. It's an on going work and will only be completed when I’ll die.
