David Dunn (New Mexico, US) began composing music designed to open
lines of communication with environments in the early 1970s; most recently,
he has collaborated with complexity theory researchers to develop software
and hardware that can create sounds that reflect the patterns found
in computer models of natural systems. Dunn recorded this percussive,
energetic sound world inside small ponds in Africa and New Mexico;
his surprise at finding such tiny beauty gave way to reflections about
the ways that mind is emergent on scales and in communities where we
may not expect to find it.
