The origin of everything: Vom Tropische Tieflande zum ewigen Schnee

A dog barks in the park, a beggar asks for money after sticking his head with a mirror, girls sell underpants of all sizes, street vendors screams to sell peanuts, books, chocolates, headphones, balls, key chains, coconuts, umbrellas, lotions, movies, lottery, fruits, fish and cd’s of the Bible narrated by Enrique Rocha. Musicians play different melodies, people ask for money, cars fights with a bus orchestra, horns, bids and parrots Pancho and Pepe talk and laugh. Nuestro Insólito Universo plays on the radio, Porfirio Torres narrates about strange things with a dramatic chicken skin voice while story tellers talk about the galaxy, gods and politics. These are part of an archive of sounds recorded between 2013 – 2017 in the streets, airports and underground transports in Mexico, Venezuela, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. All these sound fields are mixed with voices, drums, flutes, maracas and other native musical instruments collected as well, during expedition in these countries.
