In 2016, Berlin-based artist Andrew Pekler travelled to Thailand and visited Khao Sok National Park where he gathered field recordings and recorded video footage of the park's flora and fauna. Some of excerpts of this material was used in the compositions and live presentation of Pekler's album “Tristes Tropiques”, released on the Faitiche label in 2016. Two years later, Pekler further processed, edited and mixed the materials to create the one-hour long audio-visual piece “Khao Sok Extension”.
A monochrome landscape of branches, leaves, flowers, grass, vines and bamboo shifts slowly through multiple exposures and inversions of color tones. The speed and tone are as if wandering through a forest under the influence of psychedelic substances. The natural sounds of insects, bird calls, wind and water are processed and layered in ways that evoke electronic textures, sequences and effects. However, no instruments were employed in the production, Pekler's field recordings from Khao Sok are the only sounds used. The visuals and audio blur perceptual boundaries between the "natural" and "artificial" while evoking an ambience that is both immersive and deeply uncanny.

[Note]
In the video, a 30 minutes long audio version of “Khao Sok Extension” is repeated once. The audio on the CD is a newly-mixed 54 minutes long version.

2016年、ベルリンを拠点とするAndrew Peklerはタイのカオ・ソック(Khao Sok)国立公園へおもむき、環境音の収集と園内の動植物の映像の撮影をおこなった。そのいくらかは2016年にFaiticheよりリリースされた作品[Tristes Tropiques]の制作やライブ・プレゼンテーションにおいて使用された。その2年後、Peklerはさらなるプロセシング、編集、そしてミキシングをおこない、1時間におよぶオーディオ・ビジュアル作品「Khao Sok Extension」は作り上げられた。
木の枝や葉、花、草、ツル、そして竹によるモノクロームな風景は、多重露光や色調の反転をさせながら緩やかに変化していき、そのスピードやトーンはサイケデリックな物質の影響下で森をさまよっているかのよう。昆虫、鳥の鳴き声、風や水などによる自然の音は、電子的なテクスチャーやシーケンス、エフェクトを連想させる方法でプロセシングやレイヤー化されているが、制作において楽器類は一切使用されておらず、園内でフィールドレコーディングされた素材のみで構成されている。没入感のある不気味なアンビエンスを呼び起こしながら、映像と音は自然のものと人工的なものの知覚的な境界線を曖昧にしていく。

[注記]
映像では30分のオーディオ・バージョンが繰り返されており、CDには新規にミックスされた54分のバージョンが収録されています。
