About “SIRINU WAYRA TANQANAKUY” (Otoacoustic Emisisons from the wind)

This track is based in field recordings of weird acoustic phenomenons generated by some landscapes: the echo of cowbells reflected by the Austrian Tirol mountains (recorded in Summer 2012) and the sound of the wind shaking cords of sailboats in The Hague - The Netherlands (recorded in winter 2013). These recordings were equalized in order to enhance tones hidden in the dynamics of the wind sounds and of
the acoustic reflections of the mountain. These tones can be confused with melodies or singing.

I consider these kind of pieces as psychoacoustic experiences more than musical compositions. During the process of equalization of this track I experiment with OAEs (Otoacoustic Emissions)*. To get the OAEs effect the piece needs to be played loud. In some parts of the piece, the listening could be uncomfortable as a first sensation. After a while, some distorted sounds and some overtones appear in the cochlea evoking the hidden melodies or singing mentioned above. In some cultures this phenomenon became in acoustic related myths as the myth of sirens for example.

*An OAE is a “low-level sound emitted by the cochlea either spontaneously or evoked by an auditory stimulus”
(Otoacoustic Emissions: Beyond Newborn Hearing Screening Rebekah F. Cunningham, PhD).

In Quechua (Andean language):
Sirinu = a spirit of the nature, devil for Christians
Wayra = wind
Tanqanakuy = pushing each other

This track was edited, mixed and composed by C. Galarreta in 2017.
