Nocturnal
Night Sounds in the Australian Outback by Kersten Glandien
An audio montage evoking the sound experiences of my night excursions into the Australian Outback in October 2024, accompanying the zoomusicologist Hollis Taylor on her night recording sessions of the pied butcherbird. In six chapters we are inducted into an alien nocturnal world, populated by creatures, humans and their mysterious activities.
