Soundscapes of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air
Emilio, from Chiapas, Mexico, sent in a home brew of some of his sound experiments. Four “soundscapes,” each one representing a different element (Earth, Fire, Air, and Water). These tracks are rich with texture and familiarity, especially “Fire,” which filled my thirsty ear with popcorn popping over an oscillating sea tide…
| Earth (47:27 Min.): |
Fire (7:02 Min.): |
| Air (6:57 Min.): |
Water (46:21 Min.): |
This acoustic art installation was created for the Galería del Centro Cultural de Chiapas Jaime Sabines on August 9, 2007.
Emilio’s soundscapes were inspired by the acoustic theories of R. Murray Schafer, the man who introduced the concept of soundscapes and coined the term schizophonia.
More sound experiments and acoustic art can be found on Emilio’s website, ArchivoSonoro.org.
Thanks Emilio! Best of luck to you!
