ANIMAL SOUNDS W / NEIL CAMPBELL / JULIAN BRADLEY + OAKEN PALACE RECORDS + ANGUS CARLYLE + THE ANIMAL CHOIR

Animal Sounds is a night of performances, talks, and interviews centred around the themes of human & non-human animal relationships, extinction, conservation, sound art and listening. This will be my second time with the wonderful The Animal Choir led by Conny Prantera (The SeeR/WorldZero).

ANIMAL CHOIR in collaboration with ANIMAL SOUNDS on Resonance FM https://www.facebook.com/animalsoundsradioprogramme/ and SI L V ER R O A D WA T E R TANK

On the night, The Animal Choir will create a new choral piece based on the hypothetical phenomenon of the 100th Monkey Effect to explore the theme of animal extinction and human responsibility. Using the human voice as a tool to gain access to a liminal space, the Animal Choir will provide a simple exercise in grounding while seeking a shift of consciousness from human to non-human animal.

Animal Sounds is organised by Robbie Judkins and part of the Cafe Oto series, Music and Other Living Creatures. Music and Other Living Creatures is a series at Cafe OTO (curated by OTO Projects) dedicated to music about, with, or by other living creatures. Birds, tigers, chickens, insects and many other living creatures are explored through sound-walks, listening sessions, commissioned performances, live responses and discussions.
