On a calm autumnal October evening in 2006, Myatts Fields, Camberwell - a beautiful Victorian park in South London was transformed into a dynamic performance space to celebrate the start of winter, with multi-sensory performances by seven artists and thousands of local people.
Poulomi Desai as part of Usurp, created a 12 channel 3D effect evocative sound installation down a 200 metre avenue of trees filling the air and greenery with live compositions using only her field recordings of animals that come to life at night. Singing insects, chirping and hissing tree frogs, insistent musical birds, and wailing wolves created an orchestra of unfamiliar natural sounds mixing with the familiar sounds of police sirens. Her recordings were made over the last 20 years in Bermuda, Kutch - India, Palm Desert - USA, and London. The live mixes evolved as dusk changed to night culminating in South London's birds and dogs responding to the howling sounds of their distant relations, creating an unexpected highly sensory, captivating call and response dynamic.
