Notice (en) : Bats and Elephants is a sound-art piece based on bat recordings from Avisoft (www.avisoft.com), and elephant recordings from Wild Sanctuary (www.wildsanctuary.com) and the Elephant Listening Project (www.birds.cornell.edu/brp/elephant/). The piece plays with the process of transposition, which is necessary for humans to hear the full range of vocalizations possible with these two species. Bats take on the identity of other animal species as they are transposed down to human hearing. And as one stretches and plays with the sounds of elephants they too have their identity altered.

Autres informations (en) : Bats and Elephants was created in 2011 as part of research on spatialization supported by the Media Arts section of the Canada Council for the Arts ({acro:cca}). A spin-off from that research will include a 2012 surround recording of Bats and Elephants made with Holosonic Audio Spotlight speakers. That 2012 version will be recorded with funds from the Harry Freedman Award, administered by the Canadian Music Centre.
