In Bolivia's Madidi National Park, the voices of the forest mingle with the rounds of the park rangers. Between howler monkeys, drones, frog vocalizations, motorized canoes, forest slashing, caiman and bird imitations, human, animal and technological worlds become entangled. The sound piece proposes a plastic exploration of nature, which, far more than being just a landscape, becomes a subject on its own. The forest rangers mediate this journey, which becomes more organic and disorientating each time.

"Evolving at first by anadiplosis and leaping from drones to bees to motors, the piece manifests a singular listening and renews sound ecology. It focuses on the relationships that develop around a given place at a given moment, on the ever-new concordances and dissonances between living and non-living, between human and non-human." - Review by Juliette Volcler
