I just saw “Curupira” by Felix Blume and was very impressed (about) possible field recordings for things to come.
Félix Blume is a sound artist and sound engineer. He currently works and lives between Mexico, Brazil and France. He has been awarded with the “soundscape” prize (2018) for his video-piece
Curupira, Creatures of the woods:
„Inhabitants of Tauary, deep in the heart of the Amazon, invite us to listen to the sounds of the jungle, the birds, and animals. However, some weird sounds appear: a creature prowling around the trees. Some have heard her, very few have ever seen her, and those who did find her never came back. She charms, she enchants – she leads people to get lost: each of them tells a story in their own way and tries to decipher her sounds.
Curupira, bicho do mato takes us in search of this being: a reflection about myths and their place in the contemporary world. It’s a sound thriller in the midst of the jungle.“
„inhabitants of Tauary, a little village in the heart of the Amazon, invite us to listen to their everyday sounds for a day. From sunrise at the forest up to a canoe ride, throughout a stormy night, from playing in the river up to a crocodile hunting… In constant dialogue with their surroundings, they imitate animal shouts (monkeys, toucans, macaws, hummingbirds) so we can listen to their singing.“
