20 minute live instrumental improvisation with pre-recorded soundscape
by FoirmFada
Matilde introduced us to a recording she made in Mirepoix, Ariège, France in September 2012:
Great setting. A perfect day, great temperature, sky turning red and the amazingly loud sound of the birds going wild coming from nowhere to be seen. It was a very spontaneous recording.
The quartet make the soundscape their habitat before beginning to explore long form improvisation and interaction – both with each other and their adopted sonic environment – particularly experimenting with delicate, detailed micro-sound.
