O rio / The river
LUÍS ANTERO

This is the first edition of a large soundwork that I intend to build on
the river Alvoco. This river, a distance of 37km, is born in Serra da
Estrela (the highest point in Portugal) and flows into Ponte das
3 Entradas (a bridge with 3 entries), where it joins river Alva, following
thence to the mouth, the river Mondego (Coimbra ). The first part of this
project, presented here, gives special attention to water in its various
dynamic sounds. Drawing on field recording, I visited various parts of
the river course and registered their environments. What is reflected
here is only a certain sonic identity that this river behaves. Many more
exist and are sound reasons for further work. This is a rural area, also
characterized by having different flow along its route, which further
strengthens the existence of various types of sound. It is this diversity
that I tried to capture in this first volume. The river Alvoco acts as
a postcard from the whole area, but the professions that it is exercised
(millers, kingfisher ...) is long gone, leaving now only the leasure of
fishing and the fun of bathing in hot summer months. Water, that is
eternal and, to paraphrase Murray Schafer, "never dies."
