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 #23 - As gravações não têm culpa: A velha caverna
Binaural Radio Rural
Um podcast dedicado a lugares, memórias, sons e arquivos
Episódio nº 23: As gravações não têm culpa: A velha caverna
O podcast Binaural Radio Rural comissionou uma série de três episódios à antropóloga e artista sonora uruguaia Ana Rodríguez, sugerindo um repto simples: o de usar gravações sonoras de arquivo, especialmente aquelas que nunca foram incluídas anteriormente em processos de criação e de devolução. Esta série de episódios intitulada “As gravações não têm culpa” é, pois, uma tentativa de fazer justiça através da criação com gravações de campo realizadas em Portugal, Uruguai e País Basco, as quais ficaram inéditas por problemas de comunicação, de mal-entendidos ou de falta de tempo, espaço ou escuta. Cada capítulo desta série revive esses registos que mereciam não ficar esquecidos, os quais foram carinhosamente embrulhados entre gravações de arquivo, processos de introspecção e narrativas sonoras.
No primeiro episódio da série “As gravações não têm culpa”, um ser, recolhido no aconchego do seu lar, contacta com um vapor de memória extratemporal, revisitando alguns marcos da experiência humana, situando-a e extraindo-a de alguns contextos em que se entrelaçou com outras linhas da vida.
Neste episódio, a história é contada com a ajuda de gravações de campo realizadas por Ana Rodríguez no Uruguai (Movimento de gado em Laureles, Cavas rochosas nas montanhas do Valle Edén, Tacuarembó; em Portugal (Milheirada em Covas do Monte, 2013; Batida do coração em Várzea de Calde, 2022; Coruja em Gafanhão, 2020) e em Espanha (Exercícios para osteoartrose de um antigo pastor do Vale de Carranza, Bizkaia, 2012). Incluem-se também alguns registos do Arquivo Digital Binaural Nodar gravados em Figueiró dos Vinhos, Gavião, Boa Aldeia, Carvalhal de Vermilhas, e Várzea de São Pedro do Sul.
