The studio is a reproduction of a Maya house — stone walls, thatched roof, a small rectangular volume with the close, contained acoustic that form produces. The chambers are measured in the field and worked here, inside a room built the same way.

Field recordings are made in chambers, deserts and forests. They are worked here.

The studio sits in the jungle at Uh May. It is a reproduction of a Maya house — stone walls, thatched roof, a small volume with the close, contained acoustic that form produces. The chambers are measured in the field and worked inside a room built the same way.

This is where impulse responses are analysed, where convolution and granular processing turn raw captures into material, and where the acoustic instruments — conch, ocarina, Native American flute, frame drum — are recorded against them.

The room is not isolated from where it is. Crickets and jungle ambience sit under the recordings, blending with the flutes and the drums. At night, with the preamps at high gain, radio signals bleed into the chain, and microphones are moved through the room to find where its resonance reinforces.
