“Field Infusions” explores the fertile intersection where composed music meets environmental sound. From Synne Sofie’s Brazilian valley recordings to Cassie Watson Francillon’s harp-centered outdoor installation in New Orleans, these artists don’t merely sample nature—they collaborate with it. Journey through the woods and streets surrounding Dalton Alexander’s childhood home. Pray for Earth with Ernesto Escaf. Explore tree biology with Sunken Lanes. After a brief sample of AC Lavender’s violin-water dialogue, the program concludes with Buruntuma’s homage to the endangered Timneh Parrot, and Dead Can Dance’s rarity “Bird.” Each piece demonstrates how field recordings transcend mere background texture to become essential voices in musical conversation, creating works that don’t just represent nature, but embody our relationship with it.
