Spatial audio attempts to situate you within the history of Hawaii’s imperial conquest and romantic notions of the past. The audio is from a 1911 recording of the Hawaiian farewell song “Aloha ‘Oe” (“Farewell to Thee”) written by the last reigning member of Hawaiian royalty, Queen Lili’uokalani. The song alludes to the despair of losing something beloved, ones homeland and displacement.
