Description of work with field recording
Field recordings are the basis of my projects. Sometimes this field I register is in the streets or in a coral reef, but others is in the internet or in the mind of the people I talk with. Soundscapes are like icebergs. We perceive only a fragment. When we translate a field recording into another frequency or we mix it with other sounds, we may discover many things about the way we codify our world.
