Very cheap non-human animal imitations amicably mimics the wonderful presentations of songs from birds and other protagonists of the animal world, made available by the ornithologist and publisher
Jean-Claude Roché in the 1980s.
"The recordings were made in 2021 on the sofa at home, with an old tape recorder. Without trying to refine a vocal technique, I relied on the perceived timbral closeness I had with some of the non-human animals that I imitated. I hope that soon, as the world moves in an anti-speciesist direction, the naïvety of this work will become an outrageous homage to a different present."
