about

Day 9, 4.30 in the morning. We arrive at the Limpopo river just before the cicadas' chorus. The birds are already here. A bridge is crossing the river, and I set the mics just in the middle, facing North. Some baboons are arguing in the distance.
On the other side lies Botswana, that we were exploring a few days ago. It's the ninth day in this incredible place. It's also approximately the number of hours I've slept since the beginning of the residency. I go back to the truck for a nap in the rising dawn, surrounded by birds and cicadas.

This recording have been made during the first Sonic Mmabolela, a residency / workshop organized by Francisco Lopez and James Webb in Mmabolela, South Africa. Many thanks to them.

Due to size limit, the complete recording is split in 6 parts. The original recordings are in 24/96, the uploaded ones are 24/48.
