Mamori Sound Lab
field recording, sound residence, sound art
During the month of December I was part of the Workshop/residency for sound artists at
Mamori Lake (Amazon, Brazil). The workshop happens once an year for the last 5.
It is conceived and directed by the spanish sound artist Francisco López
For 15 days we stayed in a remote jungle area researching and recording the jungle, animals,
underwater activities, ultrasound insects and infrasound waves.
Here's an example piece created with the processed sounds of rain, frogs, infrasound waves and thunder.
Junglow Drift [listen]
About the piece:
Acousmatic presence of beings that seem to inhabit only at the environmental sound matter. Sonic investigation of an environment's Eco-system in constant drift and approximation, saturation and distancing. Low drones that travel unimaginable distances through a network of trees. High pitched sounds zenning by so fast that the eye fails in identifying their presence.
