Program NoteI have always been fascinated by animal life. I respect their strength and adaptations, which in so many areas dwarf our own human skill set. I feel a deep empathy for their intelligence, their relationships, their life cycles, and see many similarities between the human animal and our fellow creatures. Yet there remains something alien: I can never truly understand what it is like to walk through the world from their perspective. These songs invite listeners to slip inside the skin of the stranger, to see the world through wilder eyes, and to appreciate the mysterious and beautiful differences between the human and the animal.

Text1. Little Fish (D.H. Lawrence)
The tiny fish enjoy themselves in the sea. Quick little splinters of life, their little lives are fun to them in the sea. |
