A Holon recording

Flashy, and mellow, Holonist beats

Field recordings of varied locations across Russia, taken between June and August 1999.

Though the recordings were originally done using fairly high quality equipment, these versions were converted from RealAudio, after, it seems, the original recordings were lost to me.

Six Portuguese episodes of the podcast project "Pecados Abaixo do Equador" ("Sins Beneath the Equator"), highlighting the Dutch colonial past in the northeast of Brazil.

The project is a Brazilian/Dutch/Belgian coproduction of 100 short location-based podcasts in three languages (Portuguese, English, Dutch). 

Sins Beneath the Equator: A modern retelling of the Dutch occupation of Brazil is an international co-production taking a modern look at the Dutch occupation in Brazil (1630-1654). Its main objective is to deconstruct myths deeply rooted in the Pernambuco and Brazilian imagination. These include the ‘myth of the good Dutch coloniser’, which presents Maurice de Nassau as a humanist and visionary ruler, or the romanticised idea of the ‘union of the three races’ to expel the Dutch in the so-called Pernambuco Restoration. 

All material is available on a project website, and on Placecloud.io, which integrates Google Street View into the listening experience:
