THE DOCUMENTARY
"MADRE" is a sound documentary dedicated to all women. Dedicated to the aunts, to the grandmothers ... to all the mothers. But especially, to the mother that we have each of the human beings: Our Mother Earth.
For this piece, we interviewed around 300 people from different social strata, countries of origin, different languages and ages in different geographic locations of the planet; all of them were recorded answering the 5 same questions after a brief personal presentation.
Based on each of the answers, of the more than 300 people, a great sound edition was made, combining all the answers, naturally expressed in their own native languages from different countries of the world, in conjunction with the main story.
The sound illustrations, the "Sound Fx" were 100% original recorded especially for this Documentary with Binaural Microphones in a portable way with a Dummy Head and they were also captured in different cities visited during trips made between 2017 and 2018 .
THE VOICES
