Catalepsis: a suspended state of trance-like immobility.
Urgent and piercing layers of sound emerge from the darkness; pulses of sonic energy provoke a hypnotic state in those who listen.
Layers of modified nocturnal field recordings of insects were used in this composition.

The Kinsendael natural reserve is a place located in Brussels, it’s a place where I like to go as there is a fragile balance between nature and culture. I recorded here during the winter 2012, sitting and listening in the cold, looking for wildlife still present around the small river.
Buildings are not far from here, there have been some buildings projects, investors looking for empty spaces, it’s been preserved thanks to massive neighbors mobilization.

An unexpected improvisation with a dead tree, branches and a cracklebox during a long awaited walk in the Mediterranean Alps.

05 ::: stefan paulus ::: a journey into a spatial fold ::: 09:46
a journey into a spatial fold is a sound cartography collected through field recordings across the alpine valley of ötztal, on mountain peaks, atlantic islands and sea ports. these records are done during what guy debord describes as “dérive†or “psychogeography driftsâ€: the experimental exploration of the environment. they are compiled with what william s. burroughs describes as “cut-up and fold-inâ€: a method for “altering realityâ€.

for my grandmother, and her piano hands, and all that they have touched
this song includes recordings of the dawn chorus in the rainforest of the north shore of o’ahu, hawaii…the island of my childhood with her and the island in which she was my mother’s mother
Piano
Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me;
Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see
A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings.
In spite of myself, the insidious mastery of song
Betrays me back, till the heart of me weeps to belong
To the old Sunday evenings at home, with winter outside
And hymns in the cosy parlour, the tinkling piano our guide.
So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamour
With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour
Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast
Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past.
D. H. Lawrence

The central region of Portugal, namely in the Beira Serra, where I live, is a rural area. It is marked by social and economic difficulties similar to many inland areas, but it also has a cultural, natural, environmental and a unique ethnography of its own. It’s a great place to live, you’re constantly in touch with nature and develop a feeling of respect for her. Despite this, there are also areas with strong desertification, where people are leaving for the big cities or for abroad, leaving villages depopulated, with negative repercussions for the architectural heritage. Already, there are only few water mills left here, for example. Most importantly, however, the region is very rich in intangible heritage sound and has an enormous acoustic potential, since it is crossed by the parks of Serra da Estrela and Serra do Açor. Many of these expressions, however, are now disappearing. I always felt I belonged to this land, these mountains and these people, but never had looked at this area from the point of view of sound. When my two sons, Isaac and Samuel, were born, I felt, also because of them, that I had to start documenting this landscape. It is obviously destined to forever remain an unfinished job, a constant work in progress. from http://www.tokafi.com/15questions/interview-luis-antero
