Search - Etant Donnes :: Royaume

1991 release. This is the 2nd CD released by Eric and Marc. The 4 tracks on this CD, Royaume, Matin, Quatre, Bleu, form the soundtrack to a powerful ritual carried out by brothers Eric and Marc Hurtado that celebrate the awesome force and forceful beauty of the natural world. The fantastic sounds you hear are sourced from the a series of field recordings made by Etant Donnes, but not in the manner of a wildlife documentary. The two brothers approach recordings as part of their whole performance ritual, with great attention to detail given to each context within which these sounds originate. The end result seems of another dimension entirely, but you realize that it is right here, surrounding you. Presented with a 12pp full-color booklet that includes poetry and stills from the film Royaume.
