The first sound was a knock on the door in a foggy morning.
sound craftsmen began to enter our rural territory.
Courtesy, acceptance, curiosity and service were the tools of our trade.
Not just sound, not just sound.
The sound may be a turning point or a fold in the dictionary of stable certainties.
It is an… intimate … subtle … specific … contingent type of language.
But there are also other types of language for an approach to a place.
And we like those types that provide sincere communication with locals.
And for that, sound is not enough, sound is not enough.
That’s why we do not want to be swallowed up by the new wave of sound researchers, so smart and clean.
That’s why we suspect of globalized sound maps, in which each sound is ripped from its context.
We keep on digging meanings … ancient and forgotten meanings from our territory.
We are sound miners, sound farmers, sound carpenters, sound puppeteers,
located in a forgotten corner of the world.
