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!

Label Description:

So, True Story. I Grew up in the suburbs of Chicago – There were a lot of great things about being in the midwest, one of which was the breakfast culture. Anyhow, we lived about 45 minutes away from a small diner, what I think most people would relate to as being a ‘ Greasy Spoon ‘ – While the food wasn’t all that great I remember always having a blast. Something about the regulars shooting the shit & the combination of cheap meat & sugar stickiness to everything delighted my pre-pubescent senses. Except, However, for one thing – A Minor detail to be sure but one that at the time terrified me & sill gives me pause

There was a small balcony above this eatery establishment, a widow’s peak or some such, a small nook in the roof just above the main entrance – This a place I always sort of thought of as having a main floor. And in this nook, keeping watch over the busy main road & not that far from the airport ( I Often wondered, as an adult, what the appeal of this place was for my father. We had plenty of places much closer that surely had equally bad food. But I digress ) Anyhow, in this nook there was a life sized ” Ape ” ( Obviously a cheap costume on a dress form ) It was waving in a cross between a cordial getting and a nazi salute. But the thing I found unnerving about it was that it was never explained, no – It was never even mentioned really. I went through a period of time where I would try my hardest not even to look at the cursed thing but it was an effort doomed to failure – I Always had to sneak a peak at those garish rubber lips, those outsized & fumbling giant rubber hands – As is the custom in ape costumes of the cheap & tawdry variety, this one also had very pronounced nipples & a vague suggestion of being pregnant.

Anyhow, Life went on I eventually got old enough to where I didn’t have to go to the diner any more. But I never forgot that ape. I Don’t think I ever will. I Wonder where it ended up
