The project is focussed around the endangered Adriatic bush-cricket, Zeuneriana Marmorata. For the Sound elements of the project, Song of the Cricket borrows from Vivaldi’s Summer: Allegro non Molto, transposed and magnified into a completely new composition. Over this is layered an interactive global cricket choir. The accompanying sound garden is created from an array of fauna sounds drawn from Northern Italian wetland environments.
