Eucaliptera INLAND

The initial approach was to compose a piece to contextualize the work that Fernando García-Dory (Inland) has been developing in 6 hectares of eucalyptus forest in the Picos de Europa planted in the 60s. With the autochthonous-exogenous tension in the background and the connection with another reforestation project being developed in West Java (Perhutana), the piece had to create an environment for the exhibition of the process of reflection-intervention in that place.

The piece is composed from the following ingredients: transformation of a fragment of Gamelan's piece "Ketawang LANGEN GITA SRINARENDRA pelog barang" together with field recordings in eucalyptus forest, recordings of water dripping into multiple containers of different materials, fragment of the piece "La l.lixera" by Tomás de La Güeria (Urbiés, Mieres) and fire recording from the BBC archive.
