Elephants in Uganda reimagined by Peter Hodgkinson.
"Elephants are capable of hearing at low frequencies and are most sensitive at 1 kHz" so the exploration began figuratively inside the elephant head between the two wondrous ears.
"The original recording is wonderful in itself, but given an emphasis on the infrasound element of the elephant and the rhythms of breath through the trunk, the piece unfolded. Unfortunately, so did the Mac computer and the result was edited on a not so familiar software on a new PC.
"I hope to complete a surround sound mix in the future to give real acknowledgement to elephant acoustics. The piece is entitled 'Proboscidean lament' in homage to the terrible plight of the elephant today."
