William "Bilwa" Costa / un/natural fields
un/natural fields is a project that utilizes un/natural field recordings, man-made, digital, analogue, and mechanical sounds, as well as many other incidental sounds, which make up a city's soundscape on metros and other indoor and outside public spaces. He has recorded sounds in various cities including: Istanbul, Mexico City, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, NY, Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Riga, etc. In addition to recording, he does “overdubs” in which he plays back these recordings in other locations, creating new recordings which combine the unique qualities of two or more spaces/situations.

Bilwa combines these recordings with electro-magnetic mics and sine-tones to create experimental music scores which employ techniques associated with Musique Concrète, electronic music, and sound phenomena research; including: phasing, oscillation, binaural beating, cancellation, etc.

Greetingzzz ~ ~~

Passing by to sprinkle some three-hour cyber rituals of one open air night shift at KALT Krimmeri Alternative, Strasbourg.

After very moving experience at OutsideininsideoutinsideoutoutsideiN in Saxon Switzerland's nature, I drifted back to my hometown. The results of covid test stated "negative" so I hop onto another adventura to a small city of Strasbourg in northeastern France where the number of covid cases was below the number of all my fingers. Spent first few days getting familiar with the unfamiliar, strolling around by feet or two wheels alone or in a company of lovely people of the KALT collective.


Served this one for the unknown and fully masked swaying organism in the newly explored zone. To make the dystopian setting a bit more puffy, spicy ingredients home~cooked by the fellows from Prague, Montreal, Taiwan were drizzled and stir~fried into cyber~tentaclish noodles.
To be consumed flaming hot during lock-down-knock-downs. Also single pajama party friendly
