premiered at the Listening Biennial 2023 Belgrade, on July 20th, 2023 —— "Dobra voda, act two" is a continuation of exploring the sound material gathered at SEA Silba Environment Art residency (2021).
the compositional approach of act two moves the focus from holistic listening to the chosen locale toward the phenomenological positioning of oneself in relation to geomorphic bio-acoustics —— re-imagined as micro-environment was (consciously) listening back.
little is discussed about field recording practice being an intrusion into the landscape; also, not much attention is given to Nature's intelligence and its system-based intercommunication, which undeniably has means of perceiving our presence.
this work is deeply inspired by the constant movement of the sea.
