Interview by Brad Rose, February 2, 2026.
"So much of Manja Ristić’s work reshapes my perception of environments and landscapes, and the sonic imprints they leave on us. Lisboa is a unique entry in her vast catalog, born from wandering freely through the Portuguese capital without predetermined paths or agendas. The sounds here feel tactile, almost physical in their presence. Gentle city soundscapes are imbued with emotional undercurrents, heightening the lived-in quality of this work. It is conversational and approachable. The album progresses from intimate ecological details to moments of collective political action, tracing how memory lives inside a city’s acoustic character rather than its monuments. Ristić creates soundworlds with so much depth that we can’t help but be enveloped in these ideas, wrapped wholly in their aural embrace."
