This image was taken in the proximity of many more turnstile antennas during a group sensing session as the finale of an amazing workshop. The surrounding was an artist built compound. It was my very first recording.

I drove up into the hills of Malibu. It was 41°C. I hope everything recorded correctly. I heard the ticking. I'm very interested to see what it looks like.

It was raining today so I installed my V-Dipole antenna on one of my studio's rooftop. I covered it with plastic bags to protect connexions. The antenna is facing south, which means that it is kind of facing the house of my neighbour. This neighbour is often spying us, so I wonder what she thinks about this antenna.

Excerpt from 'Autumn' by Rainer Maria Rilke: The leaves fall, fall as from far, Like distant gardens withered in the heavens, They fall with slow and lingering descent. And in the nights, the heavy Earth too, falls, From out the stars into the Solitude.

As the temperature rises, the political climate gets heated here in my village. The extremely high temperatures during both summer and winter have negatively influenced the amount of drinkable water during the year. The local government implemented strategies for preserving water by cutting off water supply during the night hours. Collectively the community is trying to rationalize water. The shortage and scarcity of water are creating tension between citizens. The fear of not having water or being able to take a shower, wash your vegetables, cook meals is growing among the villagers. Particularly during the pandemic where washing hands is an important hygienic step, water scarcity generates an unsettling climate.
