Cricket Voice
1987
Hildegard Westercamp
A musical exploration of a cricket whose song was recorded in the stillness of a Mexican desert region called the Zone of Silence. Slowed down it is like the heartbeat of the desert; at its original speed it sings to the stars. The percussive sounds in Cricket Voice were created by playing on desert plants, dried roots and palm eaves, and by exploring the ruins of an old water reservoir.
