A music performance with field recordings from abandoned places and buildings.

Recordings taken at ghost villages in the mountains of Bulgaria. In this region there are more than 100 villages with a total population of around 1000 people. In some of them there are 2-3 inhabitants and some are totally abandoned for years and they are gradually swallowed up by the forest. For us humans it can be said that this is a pandemic of extinction, but for nature it is a completely natural process and part of its cycle.
