(soundscapes-radio mix by José Manuel Costa and Ana Vega Toscano)
Spain is still a land with some unspoiled spaces and wild coasts. Maybe that’s the reason why a generation of field recorders has been extremely active in the last decade, generating complex sound maps of several regions or releasing a very appreciable corpus of soundscapes,. For this Art’s Birthday we propose a travel along the coasts of Spain, beginning in the north and along the shores of the Cantabrico, de Atlantic Ocean, the Gibraltar Strait and the Mediterranean Sea , in Valencia and Cataluña. This travel in 20 minutes has been realized through the Radio Clásica program Vía Límite, by José Manuel Costa, with material provided by Xabier Erkizia, Juanjo Palacios, Carlos Suárez, Chinowsky Garachana, Edu Comelles and José Manuel Berenguer.
