Various Artists – paisajes en tundra

Label Description:

(ENG)

Glacier retreat, while a natural phenomenon in some cases, has been exacerbated by various human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation and intensive agriculture. The accelerated melting of ice leads to a series of catastrophic consequences and irreversible effects that are impacting both natural ecosystems and human life.

This album was created as an initiative to raise awareness of this phenomenon, as well as to raise funds to support Glaciares Chilenos (www.glaciareschilenos.org), a Chilean NGO founded with the aim of educating and protecting the more than 26 thousand glaciers located in the national territory, through the development of educational programs and visibility of scientific content on glaciers.

In keeping the editorial line of the previous benefit compilation “migraciones”, Bahía Mansa decides to expand the previous sound palette and invites 10 other global artists to participate in this collaborative instance as part of the annual support for ecological causes.

All proceeds will be donated directly to Glaciares Chilenos (NGO).

El retroceso de los glaciares, si bien es un fenómeno natural en algunos casos, se ha visto exacerbado por varias actividades humanas como quema de combustibles fósiles, deforestación y agricultura intensiva. Los hielos comienzan a derretirse más rápidamente, lo que conlleva a una serie de consecuencias catastróficas y efectos irreversibles que están afectando la vida natural y humana.

Este álbum nace como iniciativa para concientizar de este fenómeno, así también como para reunir fondos y donar a Glaciares Chilenos (www.glaciareschilenos.org), ONG chilena fundado con el objeto de educar y proteger los más de 26 mil glaciares ubicados en el territorio nacional, a través del desarrollo de programas educativos y visibilización de contenido científico sobre glaciares.

En esta línea, y continuando en la línea editorial del anterior compilado a beneficio “migraciones”, bahía mansa decide ampliar la paleta sonora anterior e invita a otros 10 artistas globales a participar en esta instancia colaborativa como parte del apoyo anual a causas ecológicas.

Todo lo donado va en directo beneficio de Glaciares Chilenos (ONG).

Thank you infinitely to all the artists who contributed their talents and passion to this project, making it possible to extend this important message!

Bahía Mansa – Ruralia (Florina Cassettes)

a2014741655_10

Label Description:

Some words from the artist:

My new album, “ruralia,” aligns with Florina’s vision and is inspired by Monet’s Falaise de Pourville, le matin, featured on the cover.
This creation came about during a time when I was deeply immersed in exploring the virtues of rural life as an alternative to the industrial impact on society.

This influence shaped “ruralia” into a very intimate album, embracing minimal elements to depict what would be a life away from the city.
By minimizing distractions, I aimed to achieve peace and clarity. The album embodies quietness, contemplation, and inner discovery amidst the natural world, encouraging deep thought and self-knowledge to live a simple life as a form of resistance.

*********

a call for calm
in a natural conversation
propels a sound capsule
ochre-colored

the storm rises
sings the limit of worlds
the universal ignorance
of a bird’s flight

the wind buys peace
at the price of the waves
adding to the land’s debt

the hope of a simulated city
the quiet of a gray sky
patience patience

return to calm
carnal monologue
of this geography
imaginary

—–

un appel au calme
dans une conversation naturelle
propulse une pastille de son
couleur ocre

l’orage se dresse
chante la limite des mondes
l’universelle ignorance
d’un vol d’oiseau

le vent achète la paix
au prix des vagues
s’ajoute la dette du terrain

l’espérance d’une ville simulée
quiétude d’un ciel gris
patience patience

retour au calme
monologue charnel
de cette géographie
imaginaire
