We can no longer count on the once-predictable seasonal dawn and dusk choruses of frogs, toads and birds. Amphibian populations are decimated by disease and irregular spring rains. A lack of natural brush fires and ungulate grazing alters a habitat suited for a narrowly adapted species of charismatic bird.

This inaugural performance will feature compositions by local sound artists using field recordings of Texas amphibian and bird mating calls as raw material. The rolling fantastical soundscape will dominate the ambient urban environment and awaken memories of natural soundtracks to which we are rapidly losing access.
