“Refugio Nuevo” (2023) remix for the Yale Tango Club

In collaboration with Uruguayan PhD ‘22 candidate in Ecology at Yale University and a NASA Future Investigator, Diego Ellis Soto.

Made of cutting edge technologies used for identifying and conserving species to create ‘place based’ music by making the birds sing a song, we combined everyday sounds captured by game cameras, and were provided with information on how many species used the Yale farm as a habitat throughout the year or throughout the migratory journeys. The song, "Refugio Nuevo", is made up of the collection of these sounds on top of the harmonies of the popular tango classic "La Cumparsita", and violin improvisation.
