Ntra Sra Del Carmen

This composition was recorded in layers in the old electric plant at Dos Estrellas Gold Mine in Tlalpujahua, MICH, Mexico on 6/17/2021. You can sense the rich history of the location of the varied uses of the building over time. In 1937 a mudslide buried ⅓ of the town in a mining accident. The mine was still used into the 1960’s. Exploring the different time levels and uses of this building by recording a 3 layered composition where each musician inhabited a different part of the ruin of a building and then bring them together by interacting sonically and musically from the different time levels.
