Middle Waters

Middle Waters is the result of a journey, of the distance and of the reencounter of two people divided by the ocean: Carlos Metta, musician, producer and sound designer from Mexico City and Tal Engel, poet and composer from Tel Aviv. After meeting each other briefly and years of keeping in touch, sending each other their lyrics and collaborating from a distance, Asylum Arts, an organization based in New York City, granted them a fellowship that allowed Tal to travel to Mexico in order to record an album. The album was produced by Carlos Metta and recorded at night in his basement, surrounded by the vibrations of Mexico City. They used instruments like classic guitar, jarana, paper and wood percussions, field recordings and vinyl extracts to create minimalistic and intimate songs.
