African Hoopoe going 'who who, who who' in the background

Red-eyed Dove going 'who who, who lim po po' in the background

Tropical Boubou making the frog-like 'wah' in the distance

Egyptian Goose making harsh call in the distance, and then honking a few seconds later

oh ! how can we prefer this kind of sounds than a beutifull aircon drone ;)

Songs from the Aftermath

Marc Codsi - The Dance (from Songs from the Aftermath, 2023)

Recorded in a dry river bed on the Limpopo river at around 5.45am, about an hour after dawn, on the 28th of November, 2014. 
The dominant birds in this recording are a group of Natal Spurfowl's (Pternistis natalensis), other species calling include: Woodland Kingfisher (Halcyon senegalensis), African Hoopoe (Upupa africana), Red-eyed Dove (Streptopelia semitorquata), Bearded Woodpecker (Dendropicos namaquus), Tropical Boubou (Laniarius aethiopicus), Green Woodhoopoe (Phoeniculus purpureus), Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca), African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer), Southern Boubou (Laniarius ferrugineus). There are quite a few other birds calling that I haven't identified yet, mainly all the tweety birds which I always find difficult to identify.
Recorded at Mmabolela Reserve, Limpopo, South Africa, during the 'Sonic Mmabolela' residency organized by Francisco Lopez & James Webb, many thanks to everyone involved in the residency!
And to the people who lent me money which made my involvement possible: Mum, Dad, Oma and Rachael B.

Souvenirs cachés / Innermost

Souvenirs cachés

On her first solo lp, Roxane Métayer fully explores the sonic possibilities of the violin, field recordings and folk oriented orchestration and melodies. The violin is often taken the melodic lead, but at the same time serves a drone background, but just as much a percussion instrument. In any case: the focus is definately on the sound itself. She’s not afraid to use effects, minimal percussion, whistles and the occasional hushed vocal to expand the sonic palette to a maximum effect, resulting in multilayered, semi-improvised meanderings, gently evolving around a tight core.

Roxane Métayer - Opalescentes Épopées.

A foretaste of the upcoming Album, winter 2021 (-OUS Records).

Immersed in an amniotic atmosphere, we are invited to bathe in the atemporality of the world before birth.

Against a liquid sound background, horizontal sounds intervene that cross space at full speed, stretching time in their course. The speed with which they intervene has the effect of an arrow shot in the direction of a distant future, which brings us back to a linear, horizontal, narrative, historical time, that is to say, to the ordinary world perceived as a successive sequence of events.

The transparency and weightlessness of crystalline sounds act like seraphically elements that connect the fantastic and earthly worlds. At the same time, anecdotal sounds that remind us of specific moments in our lives cross our mind -- liquid, metallic, soft, subtle sounds -- and dense drones mingle to create an experience of their own, each one embedding itself in the personal experience of the listener.

From the beginning we were immersed in this atemporal amniotic atmosphere and then there was the birth, the irruption into the world, history began. We plunged into time to look for the origin, to deepen the story, to understand.
