Sonopoetry and field recording by https://soundcloud.com/ilaria_boffa

Field recording: recordings taken at the 'Anello dei Colli Euganei'. The deafening noise is the sound of leaves (only) rustling in the wind.

Sonopoem: 
'Translations

A clear geography of silver poplars 
ashes and maples surrounds this fluvial area.
A narrative of rustles, chatting loudly.
Translations. What we hear and the language
that makes it audible imply investigations 
on others’ listening modes.
We question affectivity, objects’ reverbs 
crashing into beings beyond us.
Inside those cubic metres of soil and air
noise spacialises, builds and hits. 
It neuroshapes and impacts the plasticity 
of things.
We translated our voices into exact
references and wording. Now, hear.'

Translations

Quick self-promotional insert: 

I released my latest record of original music a couple of weeks back. It'd mean the world to me if some check it out on Bandcamp and/or Spotify:

https://saschamuhr.bandcamp.com/album/fuive-part-2

Alright. To the video at hand: I recently got the Mooer A7 hall/reverb/ambience pedal. Totally loving it so far, especially the standard hall-mode and crush-mode (I think I used both on the melody improvisation). This is a little improvisation using the hall mode.

I used my Shawn Lange Master signature on this one. Goes in to the Bluguitar Amp1, into the th Blubox (set on "Stack 1980"). The reverb and delay (for the loop) is in the fx loop of the amp. Together with the "Shallow Water" by fairfield circuitry. 

Let me know what you think, should I do a full review like for the "When The Sun Explodes" by beautiful noise effects?

A year ago, we recorded our first joint track with Ilaria (https://soundcloud.com/crazycompass/ilaria-boffa-foreign), and then we agreed that we would do another one later in which each of us will read own poem in native language. Everything coincided. "We translated our voices into exact references and wording. Now, hear."

TRADUZIONI (Ilaria Boffa)

Una precisa geografia di pioppi bianchi
frassini e aceri circonda quest’area fluviale.
Narrazione di fruscii, conversazioni rumorose.
Traduzioni. Ciò che sentiamo e il linguaggio
udibile implicano indagini
sui modi di ascolto dell’altro.
In dubbio l’affettività, il riverbero degli oggetti
che scontra soggetti oltre noi.
Dentro quei metri cubi di suolo e aria
il suono prende spazio, costruisce e colpisce.
Neuro-trasforma e impatta la plasticità
delle cose.
Abbiamo tradotto le nostre voci in
riferimenti e formulazioni. Ora, ascoltami.

ГЕОГРАФИЯ (Nata Boundariver)

На свете так много мест, куда я не смогу попасть.
Попасть бы хотя бы туда, где я есть.
Почти нигде и почти никогда.
Забытое слово я.

GEOGRAPHY 

There are so many places in the world where I cannot get.
Get at least where I am.
Almost nowhere and almost never.
Forgotten word I'm.
