When the sun rises over the tropical landscape of central Bali the sounds indicate the shift between night and day:  the concert of frogs, crickets and cicadas subside, jungle fowl  and birds wake up and a concert of humming, thrumming, buzzing and chirping starts. In the midst of all this the domesticated rooster functions as the  most reliable of alarm clocks. 

Tropical forests are under threat. In Indonesia alone, each year more than one million hectares of rainforest is cleared and forever lost. Corporate greed and weak laws allow the oldest living eco systems to become plantations, to be logged for wood or burned to create new farmland. 

The occasional noise  or muffle made by the recording equipment show the human presence in this delicate space -both as the rescuer and destroyer of the last areas of natural habitats.

Soundart is about deep listening and being closely aware of your surroundings and to let life slow down to its natural pace.
