“MM-07” is a recomposition I made using early morning recordings I brought back from a residency I spent in Mamori Lake, Brazilian Amazon, in 2007. From an arbitrary rule of working only with every first recording of every day, I revisited this 10-years old sound archive and force my own listening into new and unexpected arrangements: howler monkeys were always right on time, but some of these first-rec-of-the-day also happen to feature frogs, birds choruses, contact mic recordings, false takes, and microphones issues.
Mamori Lake is about 80 kilometers south of Manaus, which represents crossing the Amazon, driving for half an hour down the Trans-Amzonian and riding a boat for 6 hours along windy rivers.
Francisco Lopez organized a field-recording workshop there for many years and I was lucky enough to be invited to one of the early sessions.

I don’t consider myself a field recordist exactly, but I do use shoes and microphones a lot to collect electroacoustic matters from a variety of places, natural or urban and industrial.
