Rubicon Biopoiesis WAV
Biopoiesis lies at the intersection of field recording and sound design, marking Uruguayan producer Lechuga Zafiro’s first release on Rubicon. “I went on a 9-day field recording trip through various protected subtropical areas close to the Atlantic Ocean in Uruguay. Thick native woods, salty coasts, desolated dirt roads were the scenarios where I captured all the geophony and biophony that make up every sound present in the pack. Frogs become synths, birds become bass, wood cracks and water splashes become drums. Nostalgic pads, club-friendly synths, energic drums and South-American influenced rhythms are born out of wings flapping, throats flexing, legs scraping.” Sounds that are millions of years old find new life––seeds for synthesis in Lechuga Zafiro’s biome.
All sounds were recorded using a Sound Devices 633 with Sennheiser MKH416, hand-made piezoelectric mics and a Sony PCM-D100. Captured and processed in 96khz.
