David Rothenberg - Close to the Ground

about

I have these tiny microphones that are described as “good for recording quiet sounds.” So I stuck them in a meadow full of crickets a few feet apart, then sampled and resampled the insect sounds all around, performing on iPad live with the actual critters, who sometimes walked sung right next to the mics. They do not like to sing when seen. The clarinet was added later. Part of Lewis Rapkin’s upcoming film “Bug Music,” in production. (notes by David Rothenberg)
