This mixtape brings together pieces by artists from Peru, Colombia, Mexico, and Bolivia who use pre-Hispanic and traditional folk instruments.
Many ancient musical instruments and sound objects from pre-Columbian cultures have been studied through their acoustic possibilities, opening up an entire universe of sonic exploration. Whether through acousmatic electroacoustic compositions, collective creation in improvisational ensembles, approaches rooted in orally transmitted music, or scores written for contemporary music ensembles, in all cases these instruments are much more than a return to the past — they are tools that open up new sonic perspectives.
A winding journey through the catalogue of All Night Flight's Stockport record store, spanning from modern classical and free-flowing jazz to a wide soundscape of dark ambient, folk and techno… with All Night Flight, anything goes!
