🏆 Winning entry in the 2023 Wildlife Sound Recording Society 2023 Richard Margoschis Documentary Competition.

“2023 was a big year of change for our family. We moved countries leaving behind the nest we’d built over 10 years. This piece was a way of processing our fleeting memories. Together with my two eldest daughters, we listen to and chat about the recordings I’d made of the swallows that visited our barn. We found parallels between them and us.

A huge thanks from myself and daughters to the WSRS for this award. Owls are a family favourite - don’t tell the swallows!”

“Allegory of Earth and Water” is an allegory of natural elements, vital forms processors, with their changeable existence, their rebirth under a new form, in a perpetual and inexorably evolving loop. Volatile and eternal atmospheres, where earth and water are ideally interchangeable above and below of a hypothetical line of the horizon. 

The title refers to a painting by Jan Brueghel the Younger but more generally to the iconography relating to the Allegories, to the utopian crystallization of the idea of the sublime linked to nature and the symbolic, introspective and somehow spiritual function it has on human consciousness .

The work is divided into 4 sections, whose titles also refer to an agogic indication: I. Silente, II. Schiudente, III. Levante, IV. Radiante. As a farewell to this Suite, a postlude, Elegy of Dispersed Energy.

Four years in a row I have been trying to record wolves. I have been lucky most years but since they have changed rendez-vouz area it took longer than usual this year. Now I have pinpointed where they are and maybe I will get better recording in the coming weeks. This is a perfect time of the year to listen for wolves.
