La fiesta del Diablo

The primary sounds and musical approach to the piece has elements of the Colombian ensemble from the Cauca department known as Chirimía. The festive musicians go around the city (at new year’s carnival festivities) playing traditional drums and flutes accompanied by a person dressed as a devil that collects money from the audience. The 8-channel piece is a quest to find a balance between the real and a fictional sound world inspired by the sonic possibilities of the instruments.
