about

For me, the weather is linked to the aquatic element, more than the air or atmosphere. When I was a child I spent a lot of time with my family on small sailing boats, so I was acquainted very young with the elements at sea, the fierce movements of waves, and liquid primordial presence...

This piece conveys the ambiguous weather occurring when I made the recording – quiet but with dark clouds. The location is the bay at Santa Cruz, on Madeira island, near the airport. The sudden blast of plane engines in the sky makes the landscape appear more vivid, sound-wise. We perceive a drastic warp in the space, but as we can't see the landscape we are driven by our ears, and it gives a dramatic sense to the anthropocene state of that watery portrait. The drone sound at the end is the shō, a Japanese mouth organ.
