... ear to the river ...

room 4 ECHOES

Location: Aulus-les-Bains, Ariège, France

A soundwalk along the Garbet at Aulus-les-Bains. From downstream to upstream… and back.

Many thanks to Marie-Claude, Diane, Stéphane, Jean-Marc and Philippe for talking and singing to us about their beloved river.

Aulus-les-Bains, France, 'Nightingales'

A remote collaboration between two artists in Cornwall, England, and rural Aberdeenshire in Scotland. Initially based around the notions of parenthood, whilst also considering personal, geographical and political space. Composition naturally began to accommodate responses to the pandemic as the album was written during the COVID19 lockdown of 2020. The first five tracks use only the voice and audio production techniques, field recordings, and radio excerpts, whilst the final track contains additional instrumentation.

A cloudwalk. Coco Moya

Esta pieza sonora es una muestra del trabajo en proceso que está llevando a cabo Coco Moya en Farrera durante su residencia de investigación de la Beca d'art i Natura en el Can Farrera / La Panera (Lleida). A lo largo del camino a la ermita de Mare de Deu de la Serra iremos encontrando extractos de las composiciones, que acompañarán al oído en una lectura especulativa del paisaje, abriendo posibles imágenes en nuestro interior de lo que estas piedras pueden hablarnos. La ermita, como una cueva, acoge la resonancia de un habitar que también modifica, imagina y se construye a sí mismo en ese diálogo con su territorio. www.cocomoya.com www.menhir.xyz L’Aplec Saó és una trobada d’arts i natura a l’Alt Pirineu, organitzada des del Centre d’Art i Natura de Farrera (Pallars Sobirà – Lleida) que arriba aquest 2020 a la vuitena edició. www.aplecsao.cat ENGLISH This sound piece is a sample of the work in progress that Coco Moya is carrying out in Farrera during her research residency for the Art and Nature Grant at Can Farrera / La Panera (Lleida). Along the way to the hermitage of Mare de Deu de la Serra we will find extracts of the compositions, which will accompany the ear in a speculative reading of the landscape, opening possible images within us of what these stones can speak to us. The hermitage, like a cave, welcomes the resonance of a dwelling that also modifies, imagines and constructs itself in that dialogue with its territory. www.cocomoya.com www.menhir.xyz The Aplec Saó is an art festival in the pyrenee, organized by the Center d’Art i Natura de Farrera (Pallars Sobirà - Lleida). www.aplecsao.cat
