Abby Lee Tee ~ riverside burrows

To live in the Alps is to be immersed in natural beauty, and in riverside burrows, Abby Lee Tee translates this beauty into sound.  A blend of field recordings (some from other locales) and gentle instrumentation, the two-part composition creates an atmosphere

Carlos Casas ~ Pyramid of Skulls

Ruffled by a distant paradise, Pyramid of Skulls is a one-off field recording experiment full of indigenous sounds. The traditions of the past resurface like an apparition merging into the daylight of today, but the music is also an important document, cataloguing with some anxiety a growing disappearance,
