Lobos Marinos por Damián Alférez - soundcloud.com/damian-alferez

El concepto de esta grabación de campo consiste en reflejar tres aspectos diferentes que confluyen en uno y conviven. Animal - Planeta - Máquina. Se puede observar como biofonía el sonido de lobos marinos rugiendo, y también algunos pájaros; como geofonía el sonido de las olas del mar; y como antropofonías el sonido constante y lejano del motor de un barco.
El ser humano ha tomando como propios, diferentes hábitats donde viven comunidades de seres vivos. Más allá de ello hay una convivencia entre lo natural y lo considerado no natural, indiferentemente de que el humano sea naturaleza y al mismo tiempo creador de agentes contaminantes a gran escala.
En Mar del Plata los lobos marinos estuvieron primero, la civilización y el puerto artificial, después. Estos mamíferos pinnípedos fueron perdiendo territorio a medida que se fue forjando la industria pesquera en esa zona. Hoy en día este lugar y su fauna están “protegidas”, pero los lobos marinos siguen estando en contacto con desechos orgánicos e inorgánicos provenientes de la actividad pesquera, ocasionando una variada cantidad de patologías adversas para ellos.

Lobos Marinos en el Puerto de Mar del Plata - Damián Alférez

An hour before sunrise in a secluded valley mire in Dartmoor National Park. Snipe (Gallinago gallinago) are performing their "winnowing" courtship display, flying up and diving downwards so their tail feathers vibrate with a distinctive thrumming sound. Tawny Owls and Cuckoo call across the valley.

Recorded on 1st May 2023 with 2 x AT4022 microphones in an Olson stereo array (www.trackseventeen.com/mic_rigs.html) and a Sound Devices 722 recorder.

May Day Snipe

Pequeño extracto y también de lo que pude capturar en mis días de residencia artística en La Zona (El Marquesado) junto a mis compañerxs y nuestra talentosa amiga Daniela (Guía naturista e investigadora del sudeste bonarense). Fue un día nublado y gris a las afueras de toda población donde se tejió una serie de recorridos ricos en información y descubrimientos en los prehistóricos Acantilados de Mar del Plata. Mientras nuestro entusiasmo se elevaba con la brisa marina, nos topamos con un pequeño grupo de loros barranqueros (Cyanoliseus patagonus), quienes nos dieron señales de alerta por nuestros pasos en las orillas del mar.

Estos encantadores loros, con sus plumajes de colores deslumbrantes, se lanzaron en un frenesí de llamadas y graznidos. Su estridente serenata no dejaba lugar para el aburrimiento. Pero, ahí estaba la razón detrás de su alboroto. Los loros barranqueros, como celosos guardianes, emitían alertas estridentes para proteger a sus crías.

La importancia de estos loros para la vida y la naturaleza biodiversa de Mar del Plata se hizo palpable en ese momento, y que también nos recordó la vital labor que realizan en el equilibrio del ecosistema. Como polinizadores y dispersores de semillas, estos loros contribuyen a la salud y regeneración de la flora local, formando una red esencial en el tejido de la vida marplatense.

Así que, rodeados de risas y graznidos, nuestro día en los Acantilados de Mar del Plata se convirtió en un inolvidable encuentro entre la creatividad humana y la vitalidad aviar. Nos marchamos con corazones llenos de asombro y gratitud por la maravilla de la naturaleza, decididos a preservar y celebrar la rica biodiversidad que hace de Mar del Plata un lugar verdaderamente único entre tanta belleza universal.

This track was composed as an audio description of the experience of crossing Lukla, with the sounds of mountain water flowing through it and the busy sounds of commerce and tourism that are continuous therein. The composition then describes the walk out of Lukla, passing by a bar playing music and then beginning the trek towards Phakding with the sounds of footsteps becoming more prevalent as the music slowly fades.

Movement 1 - 25th Of September, 2018 – Lukla To Phakding

As the trek progresses, footsteps become the principal rhythm to which all other patterns relate. As we pass Upper Namche we encounter stone masons working on erecting a few more hotels, which cuts into the group conversation. The different recorded sounds are manipulated into various concurrent and overlapping rhythmic forms, then all human noise is subdued as we enter the Rhododendron forests and climb towards Namche.

Movement 2 – 26th & 27th Of September, 2018 – Phakding To Namche

The sound of yaks, cows and bulls, donkeys and horses on the trail becomes a norm as we share the same path to and from Base Camp. As we pass the porters sometimes we are able to hear songs pouring out from their portable radios. The sounds of passing helicopters that are either taking high-paying tourists straight to the top, or are picking up trekkers that are suffering from altitude sickness becomes more frequent.

Movement 4 – 29th And 30th Of September, 2018 –Tengboche To Dingboche

Back in 1992 a great friend of mine convinced me to try playing the Bass so I could join a cover band he was starting. One year later I had pushed the notion to him that copying was far less rewarding than doing it yourself, and we founded Primitive Reason.

To this day I’m still going strong with Primitive Reason, although I try and ‘complete’ my need for a varied musical diet with other projects, of which most are solo experiments.

Although I started with the Bass Guitar, I quickly moved on to experiment with other rhythmic languages, particularly percussion. Although I am from Madrid, Spain and born of Spanish parents, my first few years were spent in Angola where according to what I am told I became ‘hooked’ early on percussive music. Still today this is the most important feature in musical construction for me, and so obviously all the music I write has a strong rhythmic component.

I’ve been recording albums since 1995, and there are 24 releases to date that I can call my own, not counting studio recordings for other bands and projects.

Staying true to my nature as a musician I have dedicated most of my earnings to musical instruments and studio gear, so I am fortunate to have a massive collection of ethnic and modern instruments, and professional gear with which to mix and master it.

My interests are everywhere, which is, well…everything, but I do aim to write only unique and characteristic material.
