Being a natural environment enthusiast, a field recordist and a sound designer it has been great to research for this article. There I mention Chris Watson approach to build a soundscape and talk a little about subjective experiences. Check it out here.
Recently my name was short listed amongst incredible field recordings on SoundFly, an audio educational website with great content that is definitely worth following (I’m still stunned by this!!) What Patrick McGuire writes is spot on: Pons considers her work as a way to relate to and understand elements of the world around her. After some years […]
*purchase the album at any price you’d like – half of the profit will be donated to Iracambi* This album combines my interest for field recording and nature. A post made months ago around my stay in Brazil mentions Iracambi, the NGO where I stayed three weeks listening and recording how much I wanted in […]
The Atlantic Forest domain stretches from the northeastern to the southern regions of Brazil and northern Argentina and southeastern Paraguay. In the northeastern part of Brazil it occupies a thin coastal strip not exceeding 40 miles in width, while in the south it extends from the coast to as far as 200 miles inland.

In February, Paulo Dantas, a composer, improviser and field recordist, visited Stockholm as a guest composer at Elektronmusik Studion, to master two new music releases (Eva Mitocondrial, by Insignificanto, and Facies, by Bella) and to make some critical listening. We got the opportunity to meet and he very kindly agreed to share insights on listening, field […]
Hello! For whoever not familiar where this article comes from, you can read the first one here. In there, I ask a lot of questions for an evolving documentary film where I have the luxury to have a lot of time to think of. Recently, we made a video teaser-like, in which some of the […]
Hello! As you probably know, lately I’ve doing a lot field recording for Iterance, a documentary I am working on. We have been recording and filming at places that were once functioning factories.
