Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That's the problem.

"Talks with Grey Heron" by Robertina Šebjanič

Another great Field Recording artist is Robertina Šebjanič from Slovenia.
The way she works on aquatic sounds is particularly remarkable ... I would say that is her specialty.
I particularly recommend her works entitled "Aquatocene / Subaquatic quest for serenity:)

Stunning work... It had a powerful immersive effect on me  :o

Kairos had published a good 5CDs anthology of Francisco Lopez's works :

I just leaned that Lopez insists that performances take place in darkness, and provides blindfolds where necessary for the audience (and possibly musicians too.)

Patrick Farmer's Apis mellifera is based on the buzzing of honey-bees. It aims to make a music which is imprecise, vague -- inspired by Italo Calvino's conception of Giacomo Leopardi art.

(Wandelwiser/Lucier style stuff, but I must say, I'm rather enjoying it.)

David Dunn's Emergent Life of the Pond is made of field recordings of aquatic instruments. I can assure you that pond life has never sounded so deep before. It comes on a fabulous CD with a sequence of pieces based on renaissance alchemical mysticism called Tabula Angelorum Bonorum -- but don't worry, there's nothing Ferneyhough about it.



There's a Wire article about David Dunn here -- with a free download of his Listening to what I cannot hear.  (Reading that article makes me desperate to see Santa Fe again, I worked for a short time at UC Santa Fe -- loved it!)

« Fifty competitors from 11 US states take part in the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation World Elk Calling Championships, trying to bark, bugle and mew their way to the top with imitations of elk sounds. During the rut, hunters use a variety of bull and cow elk noises to find and lure away their targets. »

In Finnissy's self-described "group portrait", Mike, Brian, Marilyn, & the Cats, the musical parameters are defined by a capricious whimsy. Finnissy gives the two instrumentalists six pages of music, instructing the clarinetist to order his or her pages in an unspecified manner. Finnissy further surprises us with a playful accompaniment of prerecorded "meowing and yowling" of cats.

François Bernard Mâche has studied scientific research on the structure of birdsong. His Vigiles is based on the those naturally occurring forms

"Profound Listening and Environmental Sound Matter", by Francisco López -- the book it's scanned from, Christopher Cox and Daniel Warren (eds.) Audio Culture, is worth having. The work under discussion, La Selva, is here

Alice Shields's Coyote is the prelude to Shaman, which is about American Indian shamanism. Coyote represents a shaman turning himself into a Coyote and back to human form again. It is made from transformations of the composer's voice, coyote calls, male chorus and electronic sounds, and was made at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center in New York
