As We Fell From Our Radiant Palaces

A DAUNTING THING is a track from the cassette and digital release A RATIONAL WORLD (Numina Tapes, 2022).

A RATIONAL WORLD weaves field recordings, improvised music and climate activist statements into a fierce, joyful and poetic call to arms in times of ecological collapse. The music was created during the making of the experimental short film ANSAGE ENDE (vimeo.com/314525630) and was recorded inside an old barn on the farm of Gjalt Tjeerdsma in Beetsterzwaag, Friesland (NL). Both the film and this release dwell on the question how to live and fight in an ever more rapidly warming world.

“The seas are rising and so are we!”

This release features exclusive art work by artist Che Go Eun. The Limited Edition Cassette has its own exclusive design by the artist and was riso printed at Afreux (afreux.be).


REVIEWS

VITAL WEEKLY 1339
by Frans de Waard

That's a lot of names, and I assume a one-off project. During the recording of a short film, 'Ansage Ende', this group got together on a farm in the Dutch part of Friesland and recorded the ten pieces. Music and film are connected, even when the music is not necessarily the soundtrack (judging by the content, on vimeo...  more

The music was recorded at the farm of Gjalt Tjeerdsma in Beetsterzwaag. Field recordings were made during the Code Rood blockade of the NAM (NL), at the Hambacher Forest (DE) and in Friesland (NL). All material was recorded in 2018 for ANSAGE ENDE (vimeo.com/314525630), an award-winning short film by Sjoerd Leijten and Stijn Verhoeff.

El conjunto del canto de ranas del Zarzal o trepadoras (Hypsiboas pulchellus) genera una obra sonora natural, acompañada de grillos y el sonido del mar.
En su etapa de reproducción su llamado es muy sonoro, metálico y musical, producido por la rápida vibración de las cuerdas vocales que se amplifican por el saco vocal.

//ENG
The singing of the Zarzal frogs or climbers (Hypsiboas pulchellus) generates a natural sound work, accompanied by crickets and the sound of the sea.
In its reproduction stage, its call is very loud, metallic and musical, produced by the rapid vibration of the vocal cords that are amplified by the vocal sac.

Concierto de Ranas del Zarzal

Recorded respectfully on the land of the Nuennone people.

The Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae victoriae) is not native to Tasmania: it was deliberately introduced there - by an ornithology group. Between 1934 and 1949, 22 Superb Lyrebirds were released at Mt Field National Park in the mid south and at Hastings in the far south. The Lyrebirds flourished, and continue to spread widely. Today, experts estimate that their population must be well over 10,000, if not even higher. The Superb Lyrebird has basically 'gone feral'.  And it's known to be having some negative impacts on forest ecosystems. However, one thing that I haven't yet seen discussed or studied is what negative acoustic-ecological impacts Lyrebirds might be having upon native and especially endemic Tasmanian bird species. Some forest soundscapes are being overwhelmed by multiple Lyrebirds, spread through the forest, simultaneously performing intricate, complex and well-projected mimicry for very long periods of time. Fascinating as this is, it's very hard to believe that the native and endemic bird species can communicate naturally and effectively, as they need to do, when such mayhem is going on.

2023.09.24 Superb Lyrebird Mimicking Other Birds. Dawn. Huon Valley. Early Spring.

Two rigs simultaneously recording the same dawn within the same landscape, located about half a kilometre apart. The beautiful calls of a Pied Butcherbird can be heard from each location. Its first two sequences of calls are nearer to the first location (Perspective 1), in the background of a flurry of foreground bird activity. Its third sequence of calls are very near to the second location (Perspective 2), within a rather different soundscape mood. But all three sequences are heard from both locations, either as distant or as near.

Recorded respectfully on the land of the Meru and Danggali peoples.

2023.10.29 Mallee Dawn in Spring with Pied Butcherbird: Perspective 2

equeño extracto de 0.31 segs con un paisaje sonoro de aves de Buenos Aires. Grabación capturada en la Residencia Artística "La Zona" ubicada en el Marquesado (a las afueras de Mar del Plata). Se hace más énfasis al Churrinche (Pyrocephalus rubinus) ave que suele migrar por estos lados en primavera y comienzos del verano. Se le puede ver y escuchar muy seguido cuando hay presencia de aves como Tijereta (Tyrannus savana) o también Fiofío Pico Corto (Elaenia parvirostris) y en este audio también podemos apreciar los sonidos del Ganso común (Anser anser) Picazuró (Patagioenas picazuro), Paloma manchada (Patagioenas maculosa) y Verdón (Embernagra platensis), entre otras especies.

Churrinche (Pyrocephalus rubinus) en el Marquesado - Buenos Aires, Argentina

In the stillness of a Swedish forest, a solitary Mistle Thrush sings its melancholic tune. This recording captures the essence of the forest, a place where time seems to stand still and the beauty of nature can be fully appreciated.

Recorded 14.04.2023
