PROGRAM NOTES
The Animal Kingdom is a piece I composed using sounds from nature and wildlife. I tried to emulate this type of overall night call out in the wild. It strikes fear among wild animals. This work transposes certain sounds through pitch modulation and also mixes them with this quasi drone that is a call that has been stretch nine times its length. In addition, I tried to grab some of those sounds (the extended drone and the already modulated sounds) and process them in a way where a new sound could be created emulating an overall echo. Incidentally, this echo sounds like a fading call of survival from one wild animal to another.
