CONNIE KIELTYKA
World Sounds
Includes two 15 minute pieces Kenya and Transportation (For Leo). Kenya takes
us on an audio exploration of that land, from a peaceful village in the countryside
to the City of Nairobi. Kenya opens as night crickets become morning birds,
then a call to prayer, children singing in Swahili, bird and water sounds, conversations,
drumming and the sounds of ceremony and celebration. An insightful, lyrical
and sensitive recording, includes a musical piece recorded by the Samite Band
in Nairobi.
Transportation in this modern day can take us from one world to a completely different
world. This allows us to hear many ways of life but it also disturbs the ecological
balance in nature and within man. Noise pollution, rapid changes and an uneasiness
are expressed in Transportation (For Leo) along with beautiful sounds that the
Earth offers us. The title refers to Leo Zourdoumis with whom Kieltyka worked
while recording these sounds. His short life ended in a tragic plane crash, exemplifying
the ambivalent character of transportation.
