This track is composed by Swedish Artist Eva Q Månsson with Field Recordings from the "Wetland Ghana 2022 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.

Artist`s statement:
"I have used Samuel Kudjodzki's recording of amphibians in the wetlands of Ghana. The music of frogs and night time insects inspired me to play a simple improvisation of sounds made by a Buchla. Amphibians are the most threatened group of vertebrates on Earth."
Ghanaian wetlands reimagined by Eva Q Månsson.
