"The Land Beyond The Veil" by D'ark Tha Murky

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.'

The Taiji dolphin drive hunt is based on driving dolphins and other small cetaceans into a small bay where they can be killed or captured for their meat and for sale to dolphinariums (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiji_dolphin_drive_hunt).
During the entire six-month long hunting season dolphins are routinely subjected to harassment, suffering and abuse. Dolphins are chased, injured, manhandled, run-over by skiffs, dragged, drowned, taken captive and slaughtered. Entire pods of dolphins are decimated, from the very young to the very old. (https://www.dolphinproject.com/campaigns/save-japan-dolphins/)
Sea in the cove turns red with blood as dolphins are slaughtered.

The massacre of dolphins in Taiji is the symbol of human indifference towards Life.

Collaborations

The Red Cove

An intimate frontier.  A melody lost on waking.  A memory from childhood.  A hope for forgiveness.  A season ended.  A photograph of a moment you don’t remember.  A treasured object found and lost.  A thought interrupted.  A mirror in an empty room.  The dust of an evening.  An incomplete equation.  A discussion with possibility.  A missing adversary.  My impression from our last meeting.
