RECÔNCAVO AO REDOR (9'37)

Diane Barbé - 2024

Recôncavo ao redor is a sweaty listen to scenes of life on the banks of the Bahía de Todos os Santos, in Bahía, Northeast Brazil, at the start of the rainy season. Over the course of a two-month residency at the Instituto Sacatar on the island of Itaparica, a series of field recordings were made at night, furtively, between rain showers and warnings not to go out alone after dark.
The piece develops around different centres of attention, which together trace out a possible, inaccurate and partial cartography of these coasts: the intimate and acute listening of the sonic world of locusts and crickets; the echoes of fireworks celebrating the football victory of Esporte Club Bahía; the electromagnetic responses of scooters, WiFi modems, lampposts and generators in the streets... A fascination, too, for the lamentations of the little weeping frogs, Razinha Choradeira, who live in the puddles along the island's paths. And last but not least, a question: all around the Bahía, a constant drone floats over the salty lagoon. Heavy, low, persistent. It seems to ebb and flow with the tropical breeze, but it haunts the island coasts, night and day. The beach goers don't seem to notice it; the fishermen have forgotten about it. But have the fish? 
One night, as the mangrove silts snap and sparkle, the breeze brings back this wall of low-pitched hum. The warm waters gently lap on the enormous steel hulls of the container ships anchored in the bay. And slowly, they all seem to lean towards the largest petrochemical processing plant of South America, just a few kilometers up at the mouth of the Aratu estuary...
