Name: Formicaphony by Jeff Gburek
Duration: 8 min 24 s
Description: This antsy re-purposing of hydrophones allows some access to the frenetic hyper-organizational instinct grid (or griddles) of the insectomaniacal realm, inasmuch as it shows up as frictional clamberings, clicks and munching and well, who knows what they were really doing: I placed the microphones and kept my distance.

Venue (excerpt)

This podcast we go deeper into the otherness. Poems by Tony Brewer, Ilaria Boffa (English & Italiano) and recitation of Osip Mandelstam (English & Russian) by Tim Williams. It's called Rifles & Garbage Podcast in order to draw attention to outrageous military spending, ecological disaster, arms racketeering and the exploitation and/or removal of indigenous populations in favor extraction of raw materials for corporate profit. Stop that. Yikes.

This antsy re-purposing of hydrophones allows some access to the frenetic hyper-organizational instinct grid (or griddles) of the insectomaniacal realm, inasmuch as it shows up as frictional clamberings, clicks and munching and well, who knows what they were really doing: I placed the microphones and kept my distance.

biospiritual anatomy

The dB level of the motor-boat was so remarkably different that I had to scale it down -- also the riverine "tsunami" had to be volume reduced to not blow ear-caps. The rest is a graphic eq scrolling of the details after several listenings. I hear what is refered to in the literature as photosythetic bubbling, bottom feeder munching traversals, fish wiggles, croaks, various amphibious farts and insect stridulations -- it's all still quite mysterious since the sound is literally ob-scene -- off-stage -- animist foley or life amongst the common critters denizens of the Warta river arena
