Afternoon in the Galapagos [2016] - 6’20”
Benjamin O’Brien

This short work is composed of personal recordings made while on vacation in the Galapagos in August 2012. Some of the sounds included here are those of a baby sea lion pup nursing and sea gulls circling (constantly) overhead. I have also attached a photo taken by my partner (Julie Negrel) during our trip.
