This sound essay is my take on the concept of holobiont proposed by Lynn Marulis. We are, were, will be bodies ecosystems lichen. Symbiosis: I record the sounds I make with my mouth when speaking and mix them in different frequencies with radio static. Resounding symbionts entangle opening a gap through which an infinity of possible worlds emerge. Cacophony, chaos, flow: it’s impossible to know if I’m one or a multitude.
Khthónios – invocación / Khthonios – invocation
Interspecies hymn built from the digital mix of crickets and human voice in different frequencies. Cthonic spirits that swarm in the compost, the underworld, and generate with their voices the cyclic rhythm of death- live. Microscopic transit, inefable precipitation of the matter that decomposes and germinates. Invocation: to bring back in sound a medieval bestiary; to recreate a fragmented, spectral testimony of those who once inhabited this wounded planet. Kthonios, from earth.
