parte 1: 
Camino de las flores a las 1:18 de la tarde un ‎miércoles, ‎5 ‎de ‎mayo ‎de ‎2021 (días antes del Global BigDay), buenos aires argentina. En esta grabación logramos captar un clima con mucho viento, ya estaba comenzando el otoño y lo que pudimos analizar es que habían muchas especies convergiendo en un ecosistema de humedales y pampa deprimida. "Camino de Las Flores" es uno de los dos últimos espacios verdes dentro del partido de Alte Brown. Conserva muestras de flora-fauna autóctonas y humedales. Tiene una superficie de 160 has, y se encuentra en el sector Oeste de la ciudad de Longchamps recalcando que está limitando con el Sector Industrial.

Logré capturar junto con mi grabadora y mis micrófonos binaurales el sonido de teros, pitogües (bienteveos), zorzales colorados, chimangos, perdices de campo, tordos músicos, cotorras, ratoneras, garzas blancas y entre otras especies. Pero al mismo tiempo se cruzaba un avión en el cielo mezclándose con los sonidos de este bello paisaje sonoro de la reserva. Miraba desde el cielo y al mismo tiempo cerraba mis ojos para entender cómo éstas especies se han adaptado a nuestros sistemas de comunicación y transporte. 
Siempre me hago la pregunta de ¿Qué tanto impacto producen estos elementos tecnológicos del humanx a estas especies? 

Con esto también me pregunto ¿Qué quieren comunicarnos con sus sonidos, qué tan altas o bajas son sus frecuencias
y como nosotrxs receptores captamos el mensaje que quieren llegar a quizás, darnos a conocer para poder entenderles. Más allá de sus formas de comunicación entre especies, también tienen mucho que "decir" y nosotros mucho por aprender... (((Escuchemos))).

same but different (2021)

A windmill in the desert of Arizona is screaming while the wind is coming. Those windmills are used to pump water, in order to give water to cattle or wild animals for hunting. The groaning is produced naturally by the central mast on a piece of wood (part of the windmill).

Recorded during a scouting for an upcoming sound art project in Arizona (to be done in 2022). 
Many thanks to Barry, Mimi and Jay for their help.

Saturday at the Shopping Mall Soundscapes is a sound exploration of one of the most inconspicuous yet acoustically rich environments – the underground parking lot of a large shopping mall in Varna, Bulgaria. The album features binaural and stereo recordings shot in real-world settings, recreating the cold concrete spaces, echoing footsteps, frequency resonances of cars and the pulsating sound of ventilation.

The second part of the album takes the listener into the inner atmosphere of the shopping mall itself – a mix of human voices, escalators, soft background noise from shops and the natural reverberation of large spaces.

The binaural technique creates a realistic 3D environment, suitable for listening with headphones, relaxation, ASMR, audio archiving, sound design or inspiration for cinema and games.
