"Pneumon" an environmental work for tape alone made principally by the sound of the masts of the ships shacked by the wind, recorded at the port of Lavrion out of Athens during August 2001. 
My intention was to attribute  these sounds as a natural living voice and respiration, giving the impression of a natural environmental lung. Moreover a parallel sense of the interior respiration of human lung- in Greek means pneumon - was developed. It's a fatal relation of respiration/suffocation, between human nature and a planet who slowly fades out.

The form of the piece follows a minimal evolution integrated by successive incidents. A few vocal and instrumental sounds were added to the principal material. They were elaborately processed with Ircam's Audio Sculpt. The mixing was made on Pro Tools.
