I ran into this poem by Hayden Carruth in an anthology, I don’t remember which, but the poem has stuck with me, and came to mind while writing this morning. See it here: The Cows at Night
Hildegard Westerkamp and Soundscape
Anyone who is interested in soundscapes should listen to Hildegard Westkamp
One of the first composers I sumbled into who records sounds from the naturel world and plays them into intricate, structured pieces. To me her work is full of story. Try Cricket Voice, found on Transformations (CD 1996.)
Timber Timbre
A new cd acquired: Timber Timbre from (almost) the other side of Canada. Check out the marsh-burble vocal style, definately will be spun for a while. Demon Host
