Graeme Revell - The Sleeping Sickness

The Insect Musicians (1986) is an album performed and produced by Graeme Revell. It is a symphony of tsetse fly, deaths-head hawkmoth, bog bush cricket, screech beetle, queen bee laying eggs, and 35 other insect sounds collected from around the world. Revell saw the potential for insects as an auditory art medium : « Perhaps the most fecund territory for future explorations in art and music lies in the miniature; in detailed experiments with nuances of rhythm and timber, detail and colour. And perhaps the ultimate horizon of technology is Nature itself.

that's an interesting idea....but it's so true--in fact believe it or not--I have one of my videos on my site about SUMMER SOUNDS.... at midnight-- I worded it "the music of summer sounds"

This must be the best post-industrial album ever.

Great work, this music really explores a new space, a new place. Amazing, and very inspiring for a poet, but no 5 minute ditti will do, and attempt to interpret this work in poetry, is going to take some work. How to words whisper of the silence, the night, and empty places?
