about
Steppes, deserts and arid mountains dominate the region of Cuyo in west Argentina. Within this barren land, a fragile water infrastructure creates fertile valleys, croplands and vineyards. The piece moves between these extremes of dry and wet. The wind, as well as the the hands of the recordist articulate the silent elements of the landscape. Except gentle equalization, all composed sounds are unprocessed.

Masterful blend of closely observed recordings and extended violin (cello?) interventions. Always surprising, but with a forward moving and irresistible momentum. Deep immersion and complexity. Can't wait to hear the whole shebang. mikehoolboom

Who would have imagined Federico Durand as an appearance here (Third Dream)? The collaboration is enchanting.
Federico has a way with abstract but deceptively simple, nearly melodic single note patterns. That combined with Stephan’s multilayered drones…it just works at every level. Richard Erickson
