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 #25 - As gravações não têm culpa: O fio
Episódio nº 25: As gravações não têm culpa: O fio
De Ana Rodríguez.
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, Brasil e Espanha, 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 em gravações de arquivo, processos de introspecção e narrativas sonoras.
Para o terceiro e último episódio da série “As gravações não Têm culpa”, Ana Rodríguez escreve:
"Aprender a processar é como encontrar uma pérola.
No oceano de osso, uma pessoa não se sabe bem como mover-se.
Esta história avançou por ressonância.
Salva pela música e pelas pessoas, entendi que a melodia toca as feridas e, por isso as revela.
A música é como uma peneira, uma rede que prende os sentimentos que rejeitamos e que os devolve com carinho para nós.
Talvez se eu disser “morreu uma gata”, qualquer pessoa possa entender. Mas não. Não sei o que dói, embora agora saiba onde dói.
Talvez a humidade traga a resposta. Ou a inclinação para ouvir.
Por que gravamos?
Por que as pessoas confiam em nós?
Estamos gratos às comunidades que nos apoiam de diversas maneiras. Aos nossos terapeutas, vizinhos, professores, amigos, ouvintes.
Aos que nos contaram as primeiras histórias e aos que constróem as histórias atuais. E ao tempo, o nosso criador."
Neste episódio incluem-se gravações de campo incluídas no Arquivo Digital Binaural Nodar. uma improvisação na ponte de Cabaços em Castro Daire, uma ponte de madeira sobre rio Castelo em Nelas, um leilão e uma procissão em Parada de Ester e música numa festa popular em Nodar interpretada pela Orquestra Sons da Beira Alta.
Incluem-se ainda paisagens sonoras gravadas na comunidade rural de Valle Edén, Uruguai, gravados com microfones de contacto e microfones binaurais.
Peça sonora da introdução: Sons do Vale Senales, composição coletiva realizada no Alto Adige, Itália, no contexto de uma masterclass de paisagens sonoras, dirigida por Luís Costa.
