Steve Feld (New Mexico, US) has been visiting the Bosavi people of Papua New Guinea for 25 years; his widely acclaimed work as an ethnomusicologist has explored ways that the natural sounds around the Bosavi have fueled the evolving music of three generations during the era of entering the "modern" world. On this disc, he evokes the ways that he learned to listen to the forest under the tutelage of Bosavi mentors. Here, the shifting densities and rhythmic patterns of cicadas pulse in the foreground, punctuated by a deep background of hooting pigeons and doves.
