about

Live music with Brood X cicadas, only possible once every seventeen years.

credits

released June 20, 2021

We made this music performing live with millions of Brood X cicadas, all three species in appearance: Magicicada septendecim with their "Phaaaaroah!" sound, Magicicada cassini with "chchhhhhwwwwwzzzzzz", and the elusive Macigicada septendecula with "ch ch ch ch ch ch ch,"

We few lucky humans joining in with the drone, the beat, and the noise. Welcome to the party. Join us now... or wait seventeen years.

The album is structured from morning through afternoon and into night, as you hear the drones give way to noise as the cicada day goes on, ending with the thinning of the sound into the human/nature continuum in a city full of trees....
