8pm: Deltoid
Made almost entirely of field recordings, [Terminal Terrestre] acts as a memory book for a recent 3-month stay in Ecuador. Some sounds have been presented unprocessed, others manipulated beyond any possible recognition of the original source. None sit still for long. The recordings were taken from many different sources: political rallies in the streets of Cuenca, cats fighting on the roofs of Montañita, church bells in Saraguro, and the nocturnal drone of organic industry in Yasuni National Park. soundsetal.com
