Spruce Trees, Port Kerwin, Newfoundland Pickups at the tops and on the branches of trees at the home of artist, Don Wright. Again, pickups on palm leaves, two different trees, the Big Island, Hawaii. Cactus Thorns and Birds, near Cafayate, Argentina I placed piezo pickups on the cactus needles Q some birds nearby flew overhead, and were gathered with another recorder. The landscape here was red dust and rocks thrust up from the earth, with a clear blue sky and the Andes visible to the West as we travelled North to Cachi and Salta. Bird Tea House, Hong Kong Mostly men come to this Dim Sum Tea House with their with their pet birds in cages, which are hung from the ceiling.

I placed pickups on the fence and grass. Barbed Wire Fence at Dachau, near Munich Fence and Windharps at Lonquen, Isla de Maipu,Chile Lonquen was the site where nine Campesinos were murdered by government authorities. Although subsequent investigations uncovered much of the truth, no one was ever brought to justice. The windharps I constructed in Yanaka Cemetery provided the samples for this piece which was composed for a collaborative project in Tokyo, May 1991. I placed pickups and a windharp on this pedestrian footbridge, near the Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts.
