Pablo Diserens ~ on australian shores: listening to birds, insects and molluscs

Pablo Diserens was either in the right place at the right time, or just before the incredibly wrong time.  Only three months ago, he was walking the Australian shores, recording the sounds of the local wildlife.  The bushfires had already begun,

Botany ~ Fourteen 45 Tails

Fourteen 45 Tails is about endings or eternity, depending on how one receives the piece and its underlying theory.  Comprised of fourteen “downbeats” of 45 records, the half-hour work unfolds as a sequence of overlapping, interacting, undulating loops. Botany is a curious artist, in that every
