Nagranie wykonano 15 czerwca 2021 roku pod koniec ulicy Wesołej w Poraju. Znajdują się tam bardzo duże akacje. Idąc z psem zauważyłem, że cała ogromna akacja jest zapylana przez pszczoły. Pobiegłem po rejestrator, aby nagrać ten fenomenalny drone.

Pszczoły na akacji 15.06.2021

An unedited excerpt, from the hour after sunrise, taken from a nocturnal and dawn recording made in mallee country in winter. Crested Bellbirds can be heard in the distance, along with Grey Butcherbirds. A few Australian Ravens arrive nearby, with their distinctive laconic calls. After a quiet but not silent interval (which I could not bring myself to edit out), a flock of White-winged Choughs arrive, with their highly contrasted calls: mellow, piping whistles, intermingled with harsh, rasping cries, and a few sharp bill claps. Towards the end of the excerpt can be heard the distinctive, repetitive two-note call of a Striated Pardalote.

Listening with good quality headphones in a quiet environment is highly recommended. (96/32 > 48/24. MKH 8020s AB 60cm > MixPre-6 II.)

Recorded on land of the Meru and Danggali peoples, which is now a private protected area known as Gluepot Reserve, purchased from pastoral lease in 1997 by BirdLife Australia (see www.gluepot.org/). The Reserve is also part of the Riverland Biosphere Reserve and the Riverland Mallee Important Bird Area.

Bombina Bombina Et Consortes

Bardo Todol are Pablo and Nico Picco, an Argentinian duo whose diverse set of musical ideas claim their own territory in the wider area of contemporary experimental music. The use of repetition -a generally common compromise in creating lengthy and abstract compositions- is absent in the various aural incidents that take place in the album, descriptively titled “Music 4 Strings, Sintetizador, Una Flauta, Agua y Electrónika”. Like a game in nature and far from the idea of industrializing a harsh and specific sound, Bardo Todol return to the forested surroundings of their hometown and actually participate in a ritual with the natural elements of the area. The project is characterized by the ingenious mixing of many different sounds on two sides of a cassette. Running water and field recordings, distorted voices that fade away into the depth of sound, synthesizers and loops, strings from the bowels of a cave, whistling, the flute and, primarily, the aural interconnection between them, co-create a unique audio document wrapped in the most astonishing painting by Frank Vega and once again finds Pablo and Nico returning to their favorite river stream in the town of Salsipuedes in Cordoba, while seeking their spiritual path to peace and liberation. For those keen on references, a good way for us to describe the new music of Bardo Todol would definitely include the Japanese version of "The Beauty Bath" by Aaron Dilloway if it had violently broken its way into Francisco Lopez' "La Selva".
