This piece is published on the album 'Soundlapse' by Gruenrekorder, as part of the Soundlapse project run in Chile by Dr Felipe Otondo: https://soundlapse.net/?lang=en. The work explores the rhythms inherent in field recordings taken at different times within Parque Urbano el Bosque in Valdivia, Chile. The piece starts with the sounds of a frog chorus during the mating season. This nocturnal recording has been subjected to different speed variations and layered to produce a thicker texture within which the frogs’ calls become reminiscent of other rhythmic sounds which can be heard in the park during the day (including geese and many other bird species, as well as dogs barking). During the piece the listener is taken through various rhythmic explorations between the cycles of day and night, reflecting the longer diurnal rhythms within the park.
