《Manos Del Mar（海洋之手）》 是一封献给墨西哥南下加利福尼亚州自然与人类之间 delicate symbiotic relationship的音乐情书。Splice 团队与来自墨西哥城的唱作人兼作曲家 Moncaya 一同探访了巴哈壮丽的海域，将田野录音与音乐结合，讲述了当地渔民和活动家如何推广尊重海洋、保护脆弱生态系统的可持续渔业和旅游实践的故事。🌊🎵
在巴哈期间，Splice 联系了 Orgcas——一个由女性领导和运营的组织，专门通过科学、传播、教育和本地化旅游来创造海洋保护解决方案。Orgcas 致力于解决一个科学界已预警数十年的问题：鲨鱼种群数量的崩溃（以及其他若干问题）。根据世界自然基金会的数据，目前1200种鲨鱼中至少有36% 面临灭绝威胁。然而在墨西哥，小规模鲨鱼捕捞仍是原住民社区的习俗，并且数十年来一直是许多家庭的主要收入来源。因此，为了让 Orgcas 在保护这些水域方面取得进展，他们需要与当地渔民建立信任。过去，渔民曾因担心捕鱼许可被无故吊销而不愿与像 Orgcas 这样的科学组织合作。
经过漫长的对话，他们最终达成了一项既能确保鲨鱼生存，又能保障当地家庭生计的解决方案。Orgcas 一直在帮助当地渔民将渔业收入转化为生态旅游收入，并培训他们采用可持续的新捕捞方式。他们还与当地居民合作，请愿抵制炸药捕鱼、海底采矿以及威胁鲨鱼和整个加利福尼亚湾生态系统的无序旅游活动。
这个采样包通过声音和音乐捕捉了这项持续进行的环境保护行动。您将听到 Splice 和当地渔民亲自录制的渔船、渔线及海洋宁静之声的田野录音。您将聆听到仙人掌森林的环境声和拍岸的海浪声，同时 Moncaya 用charango（恰兰戈琴）演奏并吟唱着 delicate melodies，与自然之声和谐共鸣。采样包甚至收录了抹香鲸通过水听器录制的标志性咔嗒声。所有这些声音都被巧妙地转化为多用途的打击乐和旋律，无缝融合。整个采样包构成了一幅宁静而迷人的声景，值得我们关注和保护。🌵🐋🎶

Manos Del Mar (Hands of the Sea) is a musical love letter to the delicate symbiotic relationship between nature and humanity in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Splice’s team alongside Mexico City based singer-songwriter and composer Moncaya visited the gorgeous costal waters of Baja to combine field recordings and music to tell the story of how local fisherman and activists are promoting sustainable fishing and tourism practices that respect the sea and protect the fragile ecosystem.
While in Baja, Splice connected with Orgcas, a women led and run organization that specializes in creating marine conservation solutions through science, communication, education, and local-based tourism. Orgcas decided to solve a problem that the scientific community have been sounding the alarm for decades, the collapse of the shark population (amongst several other issues). Currently, at least 36 percent of the 1,200 species of sharks are at risk of extinction, according to data from the World Wild Fund (WWF). But In Mexico, small-scale shark fishing continues to be a custom of native communities and it has been the main source of income for entire families for decades. So in order for Orgcas to make progress on protecting these waters they needed to build trust with the local fisherman. In the past, there was a reluctance to cooperate with scientific organizations like Orgcas for fear of the revocation of fishing permits without any notice.
After a lengthy dialogue, they have been able to work out a solution that will ensure the sustainability of both the sharks and the families in the area. Orgcas has been converting fishing income into eco-tourism income for the local fisherman and training them on new ways off fishing in sustainable ways. They’ve also worked with locals to petition and protect against dynamite fishing, underwater mining, and unchecked tourism that threatens the sharks and the entire Gulf of California ecosystem.
This pack captures this ongoing environmental protection effort through sound and music. You’ll hear field recordings captured by Splice and the local fisherman themselves of their boats, fishing lines, and the peaceful sounds of the ocean. You’ll hear ambiences of cacti forests and crashing waves while Moncaya plays charango and sings delicate melodies in concert with the sounds of nature. The pack even features hydrophone recordings of sperm whales making their patented clicking sounds. All of these sounds have been flipping into versatile percussion and melodies that blend together seamlessly. The entirety of the pack is a serene and captivating soundscape that deserves our awareness and protection.
