Bestiari pays tribute to the animals of Anselm Turmeda’s medieval text The Dispute of the Donkey by featuring dreamlike sounds and images of elephants, bats, dolphins, snakes, donkeys, parakeets and bees, recorded in their natural habitats. Featuring Ambisonics 3D infrasound spatialisation, Bestiari presents frequencies that are beyond the human sensory realm, inducing a sense of physical closeness with these animals and propitiating sensorial modes of interspecies discovery. A film projection aligned with each species’ spectrum of vision creates hypnotic encounters with the various animals and environments, further diluting the relationship between reality and dream. In this listening session, Carlos Casas will take us across the real and hypnagogic realms that he created for Bestiari and other projects.
