Album AU 2014 on Flaming Pines label
Spoken Word (Field Recording)
Kate Carr has been avidly following the ups and downs of the critically endangered kakapo since discovering the bird via David Attenborough. Her piece paints a vivid picture of New Zealand by night. ''I wanted to convey the freakiness of what this bird actually does. Constructs a big dirt bowl, hops in the centre of it, inflates itself and booms across the freezing mountain tops, eerie hardly begins to describe it.'' Recordings of Kakapo boom and shriek used courtesy of the New Zealand Department of Conservation. Numbered edition of 100 copies
