This is my contribution to the 'Polar sounds' project 2023. A soundart composition based on the hydrophone recording of a Ross Seal in Antarctica.

and AWI Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Center Germany / HIFMB Oldenburg https://hifmb.de/
as well as artists from around the world, reimagining the sounds of the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

Pheromone Sphere - 'giant skeletons'

Field recording of the Sanguinho village, Sao Miguel island, Azores, Portugal reimagined.
As I listened to the field recording while looking at photos of Sanguinho, I immediately thought of a lost place. But not in a gloomy sense, since it seems as if the flora and fauna of the abandoned village had simply taken over. Everything seems bright and peaceful.
The Portuguese fairy tale of the enchanted Mouras came to mind: I saw these beautiful maidens (bound by a spell to bridges, fountains or stone houses) doing their supernatural dance through Sanguinho at dawn.
