magoski rain
soft,
luminous,
honest—

smell the moist earth,
the wet hum
beneath the ruin,
and I cannot help
but feel desire,
here,
now,
with you.

Les oiseaux
crient—
non pas peur,
mais reconnaissance.
Ils nous voient.
They see us.

nomeando o vento
como se fosse sagrado—
naming the wind
as if it were sacred,
as if it carried
the truth
we were too shy
to say aloud.

And here
in this trembling
broken
holy
sky,

I choose you
again
and again
and again—

in every language
the air
knows how to speak. Favorite track: l'arrivée de l'orage dans la région du sertão.

ed_blackadder What a treasure trove of amazing sounds. And it helps Friends of the Earth! Just buy it

Jey a pallet of the serene to freaky....listen carefully what our fellow residents have to say

pedrodle Beautiful Avant Album, It gets to communicate from little hidden beings to humans.. enjoying the soundscapes of the surroundings.. That's a positive impact on us, peaceful living beings on Planet Earth. Favorite track: havn.

Daniel Imhof the valley of onsernone is my favourite place to be in the world. i stay there once a year. to stumble upon this made my heart jump. wonderful work, thank you!

magoski reconciliation:
understanding the ache
is not punishment,
but motion
Not loss
but continuation.
Not emptiness,
but the space
required
for return
You do not reconcile
by forgetting.
You reconcile
by finally seeing
that longing
is the universe’s way
of keeping you
moving.
It is the force
that keeps planets
from falling into their suns,
yet prevents them
from drifting into cold oblivion.

Michael Upton (Jet Jaguar) Swarm of bees in my ears? Sounds great, why not? I love that I don’t know how much is just a “faithful” field recording vs arranged. Something sort of magical-feeling about the whole album. Favorite track: wie tief dringt ein ton ein? (how deeply does a sound penetrate?).

mikehoolboom These tracings (what is field recording if not tracings?) touch back. Not rain but every rain drop. Not water but every pebble a sluice. Each exactingly noted sound makes point and counterpoint. Each repetition carries variation. Sober and scintillating. One of the year’s highpoints Favorite track: regen ist die sonne des klangs (rain is the sun of sound).
