This track is composed by Alex Vald with Field Recordings from the "Wetland Ghana 2021 Archives" recorded by Samuel Kudjodzi in binaural format in a suburban settlement in Koforidua, Eastern Region, Ghana. It is published on "Cities and Memory", Oxford , UK, citiesandmemory.com, and explores the musical patterns of natural acoustic phenomena found in wetland ecosystems in suburban Ghana and the creative possibilities that come with them.
The main goal of this project is to encourage focused listening, raise awareness about fragile ecosystems and encourage positive attitudes and protection of disappearing ecosystems.
Headphones are recommended for immersion into the music and space.

Field recording location address: Koforidua, New Juaben South Municipal District, Eastern Region, Ghana.

Artist`s statement:

"I took a few excerpts of the wildlife sounds, treated those, then built the music up with acoustic instruments and a lo-fi kalimba sample. I was aiming to create and then process sounds to complement the ambience of the original recording, which plays throughout most of the piece, and to add my own 'creatures' into the mix. That said, I just really like frogs. I spend a quantity of time taking pictures of the denizens of my pond - @frogwatching if you are interested - but mine tend to be quieter."

Amphibians in Ghana reimagined by Alex Vald.

Enjoy listening.
