This is one of the 2-track pieces made using field recordings during the Sounding Paths Residency in Syros Island, July 2013. In this piece, the recordings represent the impact of wind on various objects such as doors, signposts, telephone wires and a detuned zither. All sounds were subsequently edited and played on a SP-202 Sampler.

Yannis Saxonis bases most of his work on improvisations and other accidents. He's done this in Greece, Brazil, Taiwan, Korea, Canada, and now in Istanbul, Turkey. Although his studio projects (represented here) are almost exclusively solo efforts, his live performances are collaborations with other improvisors and visual artists as well as regular appearances with Athens-based outfits XYSM (xysm.bandcamp.com) & Trio Hermetico
