about

Spore CD007 Wildlife by Justin Bennett.

Limited Edition: 300 copies

16 audio tracks, total time 40 minutes.
In a transparent plastic sleeve with a fold-out A2 black-and-white poster, 8 small photographs on one side, one large photograph on the other.

Wildlife began as the score for Natürtro, a dance piece by Eva-Cecilie Richardsen commissioned by Carte Blanche, Norway.
Bennett recorded the sounds in zoos, botanic gardens and other places ‘on the edge between nature and culture’. The accompanying photographs were made at some of the recording locations.

After Natürtro, Bennett re-worked the materials during a series of live performances and in the studio.
Some of the sounds are left just as they were recorded: We hear a duet between a fly and a drilling machine, children pretending to be monkeys, or a bird singing along with a bad trumpet player. Some recordings though, are woven into pieces which dissolve the border between “natural” and electronic sounds and structures.
Above all, the pieces are hybrid, artificial spaces for the listener to inhabit.
