\nThis is the second release in Cr\u00c3\u00b3nica\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ongoing Corrolaries series, a collection of works resulting from a collaborative residency curated by Simon Whetham in Mooste, Estonia (the first was this one by Yiorgis Sakellariou).
\nReleased as a Name-Your-Price download, they are a perfect way to discover the various ways that environmental recordings can be transformed into sound art soundscapes.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhen the Days\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u02dc is constructed from Field recordings made in Mooste and its surroundings, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153which was especially appealing for the contrasts between nature and derelict and abandoned structures from the soviet area. My aim was to convey the atmosphere I was absorbed in, wandering around in solitude in the landscape almost devoid of human presence.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nAnd that atmosphere is perfectly captured!<\/p>\n

Environmental sound recordings can be used to re-create a certain atmosphere, if you record them well and leave them as close to the source as they can be.
\nBut that is not the purpose of these projects, of this album. When listening to them, you hear music, not just sound.
\nThat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s precisely what Edgar Var\u00c3\u00a8se meant when he defined \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcmusic\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcorganized sound\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.<\/p>\n
