Terramuda is an experimental electroacoustic-soundscape composition by Brazilian sound artist Lucca Totti. Its main sonic focus is exploring a “zone of uncertainty” between organic and synthesized sounds through the manipulation of field recordings of a local Atlantic Forest and found objects gathered in this place. The work is an attempt to imagine fictional soundscapes that make audible other sonic dimensions of the native soundscape, amidst a period of record-setting environmental destruction. The title of the work could be translated as “Mute Earth”, or as “Earth Changes”.
