Aviation from Touch: Isolation by Heitor Alvelos

Aviation is a short requiem for an era of over-abundant air travel,
and a delirious invocation of the much-touted rebirth of natural ecosystems as a consequence of worldwide shutdown. Both converge in a reverie that is as foreboding as it is perplexing.
The piece is a collage of field recordings, underlined by a layer
of evocative soundscapes.

“Auditory space has no favoured focus. It’s a sphere without fixed boundaries, space made by the thing itself… It is not a pictorial space, boxed-in, but dynamic, always in flux, creating its own dimensions moment by moment”. Edmund Carpenter

From R. Murray Schafer's book "The Soundscape, Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World" (Destiny Books, 1977)
