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.
