about

Field recordings of mud volcanoes near Mount Etna in Sicily. Each vent has its own unpredictable and unique voice, bubbling natural salty water, mud, gas and liquid hydrocarbons to the surface. They are not real volcanoes, but their activity is closely connected to Mount Etna. The site on the outskirts of the town of Paternò is characterized by both wonder and neglect, with geological vitality between discarded clothing, electronics and cartridge cases on the ground.
