Label: Upside Down Recordings - UDR 18

コレは激ヤバです。。。Mikroton Recordingsのコラボレーションもの、またその関連ユニットとしてのリリースも多いメキシコ出身の女性サウンドアーティストAngelica Castello。長年管楽器を通じて空気の音に魅了されてきたという彼女。それを今回具体的に作品化した、風をイメージしたというオーケストラ録音。9人編成の管楽器グループ、9つのラジオ、3台のチューブベルが織りなす風音を意識したもの凄い人力演奏。



Cuacochi in Nahuatl language means “to sleep in a tree”.
As a wind player myself I have always been particularly fascinated by the sound of the air through my instruments. As a performer and improviser I have developed a big palette of wind sounds, mixing them with related sounds such as static radio noise and white noise.
The „cuachochi“ series are pieces about air and noise.... and sleeping

The Tree weights the nest
The wind weights the tree
and fate the rest
(Burkhard Stangl)
