TEMPLOS ~ MIMOS ~ ORCAS for FOGO FÁTUO
The bagpipe from the northeastern region of Portugal, traditionally made from the hide of goats, often uses the entire carcass of the animal to craft the bags. In the portuguese folklore, there is a clear absence of references to those beings, whom the pipers carry under their arms, both in the lyrics and in the musical elements. In Templos ~ Mimos ~ Orcas, A lake by the mõõn seeks to embrace and reconnect with the animal, through a costumized synthetic bagpipe, electronic music and field recordings. A ritual about our relationship with neighbouring organisms and their significance.
