An exploration into the improbable relationship between entomology and electricity. Bugs in the world of electronic media or bugs in our beds: how to respond? In this collaborative "field trip," Migone and Whitehead invite us into their bug infested soundscape to investigate live wire cross-currents of extermination and redemption; the vitality of dirt and the urge to clean; the joys of pure noise and the fear of bodies gone to the worms. Professional exterminators philosophize about their daily warfare against other species while the producers orchestrate a mad carnival of the True Bugs. Commissioned by New American Radio.
