«  La cuna del sol »
Enrico Ascoli
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the track "la cuna del sol" is a quick time-lapse on the typical morning of an antimony miner in the Cartoce area (San Luis Potosi, Mexico): the wake up at 5 am, announced by the passage of the first freight train down in the valley, in one of the few little and rural villages at the base of the mountains, the 4 hours of mule track riding a donkey to rich the mine, the breakfast all together around a stove, cooking quesadilla, the march in the long entrance tunnel of the mine, the hard and dangerous job, all hand made, did of explosions, hammering, shoveling rocks and transporting them with heavy carts. I recorded all these materials during the shooting of the documentary Gods of Mexico by Helmut Dosantos in 2016. We spent 10 days leaving together with miners and exploring the 9 level of tunnels. The most impressive sound was the unreal silence of the deepest parts.
