Woodwind instruments, birdsong and field recordings gathered by Rob in the Prairie State of Illinois are manipulated to reveal a native soundscape somehow in harmony with the exotic flora inside the Lincoln Park Conservatory. Slowing down bird sounds to a more human friendly speed unveils a beauty and complexity achieved over millennia.
Rob Frye is a musician and birder interested in bioacoustics and convergence.
Florasonic is an ongoing sound installation commissioning series by ESS in collaboration with the Lincoln Park Conservatory. The 2022-2023 season is funded in part by the Puffin Foundation.
