Wust Elbalad Arablly- فرقة وسط البلد- قربيلي

There are scientists who believe only humans can ‘entrain’ to a beat, plus a few special songbirds like Snowball the cockatoo who dances to the Backstreet Boys. In my experience nearly all big parrots like to dance to a beat, and here, we’ve got an invisible plant who is doing it! What does this mean? Surely this is not an intentional music?
It is a found music, something going on all around us that usually remains unnoticed.

In the background of this recording, high and faint, are the indistinct mumbles of terrestrial creatures: parents, children, others, chatting away.

But the pond plants, and occasional instincts, are the louder rhythms here.

With this piece we flip our experience into the background: This is the music of the pond heard from beneath the pond, the new world of sound we are now such a part of.
