Cold Breath
It was one of those hot, endless nights. The cabin, deep in a silent forest, should have been a refuge, but something kept me awake. Not the insects or the wind—it was her, wheezing in the kitchen like a wounded animal.
I struggled to sleep. The soundscape was dominated by her holy motor, the whisper of her gases. Refrigerators often hum, but this one felt personal, almost intentional. Its low, constant buzz became the heartbeat of the night, as if it were speaking to me.
I decided to face it. Armed with my microphone and recorder, I approached in the dark, fearing it might react. I captured its mechanical breath. Weeks later, back in the city, I dissected the sound into 16 bands, each fragment an echo of its cold breath. Rearranged, they took me back to its interior, to that night when I tore off its last breath by unplugging it. But its hum remains, like the beat of a buried heart, in my head, my music, my sleepless nights.

Beressia’s Fall
“Beressia’s Fall” is a soundscape with a traveling listening point of a soundwalk through the delta wetland of Berisso city. This piece is a studio montage created from moving and static, mono and stereo recordings made on Isla Paulino during the fall of 2022. On this tour of its territory, a group of artists, scientists and academics walked in silence listening carefully to the environment. For this they were guided with instructions on listening modes by Santiago Johnson and Cecilia Castro. Here is a brief recreation of that experience.
