Limited edition cassette + digital album release on Dinzu Artefacts
Released November 18, 2022

Originally presented as a sound installation at the Buskerud Kunstsenter in Drammen, Norway, Stegla is based on sound recordings of small movements in trees and of the insects living inside them. In the installation, these recordings were controlled in real time by bioelectrical signals from the trees themselves and then amplified through the trees via surface transducers. For this release, the recordings have been processed with electronics and tape machines to bring out the subtle textures, timbral shifts, and micro-movements of this otherwise hidden environment.
