about

05 - El congreso de los Fantasmas (ENG)

In Colombia, at the base of the Andean depression and in the rainfall shadow of the mountains, unfolds an arid tropical forest of 300 square kilometers. This patch of "land", known as "Desierto de Tatacoa", is literally divided in half by a road that separates two different colors of soil: on one side stands a fiery red canyon (second only to Sergio Leone's landscapes), on the other an expanse of gray limestone, populated by rattlesnakes (Tatacoas) and spiders. This last side is dominated by a natural, disturbing formation resembling a "Congress of ghosts", which is a group of incredibly realistic human-sized stony individuals, hidden under sheets of gray limestone smoothed by the wind. “Un desierto nunca està deshabitado, ojos hechos de roca, alma grises vigilan la sequìa y el poder incivilizado”.
Field recording:
For this song I used four different guitars sampled in Colombia between squares, hostels and old-time TV. The voices were recorded in Bogotà, at the Monasterio Santa Maria de la Epifania.

05 – El congreso de los Fantasmas (ITA)

In Colombia, alla base della depressione Andina e all’ombra pluviometrica/piovosa delle montagne, si srotola un’arida foresta tropicale di 300 chilometri quadrati. Questo fazzoletto di “terra”, noto come “Desierto de Tatacoa”, è letteralmente diviso a metà da una strada che separa due diverse colorazioni di terreno: da un lato si staglia un canyon rosso fuoco (secondo solo ai paesaggi di Sergio Leone), dall’altro una distesa di calcare grigio, popolato da serpenti a sonagli (Tatacoas) e ragni. Quest’ultimo lato è dominato da un’inquietante formazione naturale somigliante a un “Congresso di fantasmi”, ovvero un gruppo di individui pietrosi a grandezza umana incredibilmente realistici, nascosti sotto a lenzuoli di calcare grigio levigati dal vento. “Un desierto nunca està deshabitado, ojos hechos de roca, alma grises vigilan la sequìa y el poder incivilizado”.

Field recording:
Per questo brano ho utilizzato quattro diverse chitarre campionate in Colombia tra piazze, ostelli e TV d’altri tempi. Le voci sono state registrate a Bogotà, al Monasterio Santa Maria de la Epifania.
