Background

Piedras 1 and its counterpart, Piedras 2, are a collection of tracks used in Jaar's radio play Archivos de Radio Piedras. Its title track "Piedras" (transl."Stones") was written in advance of a concert performance at the Museum of Memory and Human Rights in Santiago, Chile.[1] It evolved from a commemorative project honoring the victims of the Augusto Pinochet military dictatorship,[2] to an alternative historical fiction narrative complete with a score. Tracks from the double album, primarily Piedras 1, are presented as original works by the main character within the play.[3]
