released November 5, 2014

Original sound recordings for [6–8] have been made in Scrutto di San Leonardo and Clastra di San Leonardo, Italy and near the Hohemark, Taunus hillside, Germany in 1997.
Frog recordings in [7–8] courtesy of Suni Hoffmann were made in Offenbach, Germany.
[9] is based on owl recordings, and inspired by a passage in the book “Mason & Dixon” by Thomas Pynchon.

“Up late between stars, Mason listen’d downhill to the Owls as they hunted, and kill’d, himself falling into a kind of stunned Attendance but a step and a half this side of Dream… In the Turning-Evil of this time, awaiting her sure Return, he seem’d but one night to push through the other side of something, some Membrane, and understood that the deathfaced Hunters below were not moaning that way from any cause, – rather t’was the Sound itself that possess’d them, an independent Force, as a way into the Secular Air, its purposes in the world far from the rodents of the Hill-side, mysterious to all.”
