Another Drop in the Sea #03 - Myrtille Vandale & Guigio Jiolua (08.02.23)

A journey into a mixture of sonic memories from Puglia, in the South East of Italy, through music by artists from the region and recordings that took place locally by musicians passing by. The show includes traditional music genres such as Pizzica, the forgotten story from the early nineties of its electronic counterpart Tecnopizzica, folk songs from cassette tapes sold at street stalls, and ballads sung in local dialects. All together with a multitude of other stuff spanning from an edit of a Salento Love dubplate recorded by Busy Signal in 2013 to experimental Electronic music, Industrial Noise and Ambient releases from underground labels such as Canti Magnetici and the cutting-edge catalogue from the eighties of Minus Habens Records.

This piece receive a special mention during the "Bienal of Radio from Mexico" and has been broadcasted on more than 30 radio, web-radio and on the Radia Network.

RESUME:
Mexico City: more than 20 millions people gathered making noise!
A noisy city for most; I would like to transform it in a sonorous city.

The street sellers make the voices of the polyphonic choir, the small bell from the ice cream seller substitutes the triangle from the orchestra, and the hammering of the protesters on the metallic wall are the percussions.

In Mexico City, people shout to be heard, they shout their rage against the cops, they shout at the ‘lucha libre’ fights, they shout together ¡ Viva Mexico ! to feel united, and during a demonstration they also shout ¡Viva Mexico ! People shout in church, they pray together or alone, whispering in the silent night.

The thunder booms: nobody can shout at the storm, and the rain cleans the silent city.  A solo voice after the rain, and the choir resumes gradually. 

People sing to forget and the shouting starts again, louder, so that the others don´t forget.

The water flows under the city, the forgotten lake is mourning; it remembers when the city was an Island… On the top, it is too noisy, underneath, the water keeps in silence the secrets of the past.

INTENTION
Most of the people in the world live in cities. The daily soundscape is in most of the case a continuous sound of traffic, close or distant. Mexico City has a series of sounds added to the background which make the specificity of the city: the cries and sounds of the street sellers are in most part responsible.
In the past, most cities had their own cries (as some classical music can testify, like ‘Les cris de Paris’ from Janequin). In Mexico City, this tradition has persisted until today,  but the government and general opinion is not in favour of them: street sellers are each time further away from the touristic center, advertising campaigns are done to make them disappear from the subway, and police operations block their access to the streets.

I would like to pay tribute to these Criers through a soundscape of Mexico City, that will become a sonorous memory of a time that sooner than later will disappear.

Los gritos de Mexico

This ep is an invitation for collaboration. I am tired, I am weary! of playing music on my own. Call me old school. I want to sing together and play together and share the experience of making sounds with others who also have a vision and a style and a thing to say. 

I like to connect all sorts of dots to find something new. Are you a dot?

Call me.

CNDSD - Flux

Félix Blume is a sound artist and sound engineer. 
His work is focused on listening, it invites us to live sonic experiences that enable a different perception of the surrounding. He uses sound as a basic material in sound pieces, videos, actions and installations. His process is often collaborative, working with communities, using public space as the context within which he explores and presents his works. He is interested in myths and their contemporary interpretation, in human dialogues both with inhabited natural and urban contexts, in what voices can tell beyond words.
