YTORORÕ

'YTORORÕ, or Mouth of the Muddy Stream by Owa Barua takes us through murky, chlorophyllic environs by way of a trickling and throbbing soundscape, extending an invitation to deep listening through its sonic brew of field recordings and modular synth. Loosely inspired by Paraguayan mythology and the acoustic landscapes of Aberfoyle, the film slowly constructs a kind of after-image, which continuously impresses itself against, across, and within shadows, self-reflexively upending the expectation of transparency.' april forrest lin
