Piece #1. Kopice Rhythm (1 minute and 10 seconds).
This piece of audio is a mix of some of the most peculiar sounds in Kopice, in Poland. This village has its own rhythm that is totally different from other places. So, the goal is to meet them like a music score.

The place where we could play Kopice Rhythm would be the culture centre in Kopice for visitors and new participants of future workshops.

The song contains sound cuts with different frequencies, like a barks (high frequenzy sound) or wind (low frequenzy sound). On tone, before ending the song, we can listen to the Bianca voice that says "Kopice". This word changes its tone what adds one tension. Each sound acts as a music instrument and its duration varies to create a rhythmic piece of sound. About timbre we can differentiate a bird from a dog thanks to physical properties that are unique.

We could associated Kopice Rhythm to a techno song but made with nature sounds and human voices.

What we don't know is that while we all sleep, every animal, every flower, every tree, every nature element form a coordinated chorus during the fresh nights in Kopice.

KOPICE RHYTHM by Ángel Pérez Navaro

The sound of water hitting the shore evokes memories, accumulated over time, that come back softly and constantly with no feelings other than the calm of remembering from a distance.

Memories of Water by Maria del Carmen Palomares Rodriguez

Location: (53.6972283, 14.5428652)

In this recording, the constant murmur of water, the gentle waves, the distant voices of children playing, the song of birds communicating, the rhythmic sound of hidden metal, the wind moving through the plants, and bubbles timidly rising from the depths all intertwine.

With this piece, I want to convey the calm and peace that the sea offers when you truly listen. For me, the sea is home. It is tranquility. It is hope. And in Kopice, the sea is just as much a part of the place’s identity as the forest, the animals, or the wind.

I want those who listen to this soundscape, especially those who live here, to feel at home.

This piece was born to create a work that would connect this experience and this place.
To achieve this, I went through a writing process, recorded the sound, and then finished this sound piece, which is located at the Kopice bus stop.
This piece is a search for the local folk life, nature, and the voice as music and support.

Kopice Sound Diary & Collage by Marcelo Bolanos

This audio captures a moment with a dog I encountered in Kopice. While I was searching for inspiration and trying to come up with a good concept, I came across this dog and decided to record him — he caught my attention because he was following me around. At one point, he started digging a hole in the ground, seemingly to make himself a little bed so he could sit beside me on the grass.

What’s interesting is that ever since we arrived in Kopice, we’ve been coming across dogs on every path. They’re incredibly smart, friendly, and intuitive. As someone who considers herself more of a cat person, I usually find dogs a bit intimidating — they often bark at me because I smell like cats. But that hasn’t happened here. The dogs in Kopice are different, and I think they’re a unique part of the atmosphere here.

"A corner of the Kopice coast"

Descriptive 
- Neutral description of the soundscape without judgement and without references to anything eise

The water moves a tree trunk against another tree that is planted among the waters of a comer of the Kopice coast. The weather is windy and with moments of rain, the sounds are combined with the waves hitting a beach of shells, the wind that moves the leaves and the small sparkle of the rain. 

Associative 
- Connect the soundscape to something outside of it seif

lt's like a melancholic state, of a gray day that gives you calm and at the same time the sound of the strongest waves, it breaks in as if it were an anxious thought that breaks that calm and nostalgic state. 1 see it as a representation of someone who is calm, but inside he is agitated with small turbulences like the waves that are heard. 

Imaginative 
- Based on the soundscape, tell a story of past, present or future

A castaway ends up stranded on the coast of Kopice after an unexpected storm, he stays contemplating the landscape with a somewhat bittersweet feeling for the moment that has passed and realizes that he is very lucky to be there at that moment, feeling alive with what surrounds him.
