We continue to present a series of Binaural Radio Rural podcast that is part of the Creative Europe funded project, Tramontana Network, which consists in a cooperation between eleven mountain-based cultural organizations from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Romania, Poland and Albania that all work in the intersection between ethnographic research and contemporary artistic practices.
Throughout the episodes of this podcast series we are creatively addressing rural-based subjects like agropastoralism, transhumance, water manifestations and symbologies, social change and its impact on landscape and food production and consumption, the Ukrainian migration to rural areas in Europe and more.
“Around the river Bend” is a sound piece by Binaural Nodar’s director Rui Costa that was composed from a variety of sound sources and compositions created for or recorded at Paivascapes - Paiva River Sound Festival. This festival took place between March 4th and 8th of 2011 in various locations along the Paiva River, in Center Portugal, and included a program of sound installations, performances, video screenings and conferences dedicated to the exploration of riverside locations and communities through sound and multimedia art.
Following Patrick McGingleys's invitation to dedicate one of his Framework radio shows to the festival, Binaural Nodar asked everyone that was part of Paivascapes to send a sound excerpt related in some way to the festival. The resulting piece features a variety of locations, times of day, seasons, and contexts including recordings of the festival performances, source material collected by the artists for their sound and audiovisual installations, sound clips included in Binaural Nodar Digital Archive, spontaneous recordings of social gatherings during the festival, and improvisations made by children inspired by the river soundscapes or by the names of the places where the festival happened.
The resulting work offered an aural window into a unique experience and, in a certain way, serves as a metaphoric tribute to this unique spatial-temporal context that imagined river with a thousand voices.

Binaural Radio Rural #18 - Between bridges... were voices thawed
Episode nr. 18 - Between bridges...were voices thawed
By Maile Colbert
We are pleased to present a new series on our Binaural Radio Rural podcast, entitled “Between Bridges” and created by Maile Colbert. The source archives used in this series belong to Binaural Nodar Digital Archive and explore Voice, and its relationship to Place. How do our places shape voices, both human and non-human, song and soundscape.
This episode works with polyphonic songs from the Binaural Nodar Digital Archive. The songs here are from recordings of rehearsals of polyphonic singing groups in the municipalities of Sever do Vouga, Oliveira de Frades, São Pedro do Sul, and Vouzela. This was from the “Culture Between Bridges” project. The text includes the english translation of the song about the grape vine weeping. The vine crying refers to the coming Spring, the increase in temperature and sunlight increases the temperature of the soil, which wakes the grape vine from its vegetative rest. Where cuts were made from the winter pruning, the sap weeps (cries). This can tell the growers that the buds will burst forth soon in a new cycle of growth. There is also a section from a Rabelais story of words frozen then thawed, sounding over the frozen sea. The polyphonic song is processed using a technique that involves freezing, releasing, flowing, and weaving different characteristics and qualities of the sound, illustrating in an expressive and sensuous way the stories being told.
