BOLT, TOBIAS - FIELD RECORDINGS OF BAJA AND MEXICO CITY (CD-R)

"The field recordings for this release were taken in various locations around Baja California and Mexico City using binaural microphones. They have been left unprocessed and although lack certain apparentness were not chosen arbitrarily. Varying from very concrete details to everyday situations, what they have in common is that most of the time some kind of 'live music' is present - either in involving musicians and instruments or just the inevitable radio playing in the background. For me they reflect a very specific mood I encountered in diverse situations during the time spent in Mexico and this CD is also an attempt to recapture this spirit. On this account I clearly wanted to avoid some kind of blunt obviousness but on the other hand also tried not to get lost in details which, ripped out of their context, would be nothing more than mere sounds."
