Persephone awakes X / Perséfone despierta X
This piece is the tenth iteration of a sound essay built from the digital mix of human voice and crickets chirping in different frequencies. Compost: subtle variations of the same chaos. Fluid, nomadic entities fuze into one single sonic body. Symbiosis. Paraphrasing Salomé Voegelin, a multiplicity of possible worlds emerge from these dis/harmonies that sometimes are considered monstrous.
Woman-goddess-insect stirs the earth, brings us spring.
The fish are electrons gliding over the water: an electric blue flash, ghost particles.
This track is part of a project called Following crickets around the house. I mix a single house cricket chirping in different frequencies. Our rhythms get entangled, here I evoke the cosmic chant of a shoal of fish.
