Music from the window

In the midst of the Colombian crisis, it appears on the radar as an oasis in the midst of confusion, fear and confinement, a beautiful conceptual album that tells a story of hope and action. Is about Kaputt.wav vol II – Reserva / VozTerra “Sounds from your window.” This album was collaboratively built between a handful of talented musicians, the VozTerra collective, and the Museum for the United Nations.

In this production, musicians who stayed at home in these pandemic days were invited to record what they heard in isolation from their windows. As they did so, they paused for a moment and connected, through listening, with other people and other musicians in the same situation.

The album has enormous courage to ask people not to stop, to listen, to record and contribute. For this reason, beyond Colombia, people around the world began to share what they heard through their window and that was the most important input for this album, the ambient sounds from the window.

For their part, DJs and producers from the electronic music scene took these recordings, as well as the soundscapes of the La Conejera wetland in Bogotá and the Van der Hammen Forest Reserve and used them to create a production that they materialized on a beautiful and colorful vinyl.

That is why this record and artistic plate invites us to listen to the sound of biodiversity outside our windows, to hear the song of the birds that brings us closer to nature despite being secluded in apartments.

In these complex times of quarantine we were able to see the fauna in the world recovering its spaces, we witnessed the power and speed of regeneration of the earth. That is why with the album, in a poetic way, a call is made to protect biodiversity and jointly build that world that we all dream of, a more just, harmonious world and at peace with nature.

The artists participating in these window soundscapes are Curses, Julio Victoria, Thomass Jackson & Local Suicide, Miahush, Scadta, Nuclear Digital Transistor, Dombrance, Kabinett and Héctor Buitrago.

And perhaps without planning it, this album becomes a blog for years to come, in faithful and sound memories of this pandemic that continues to affect the world of music so much.
