IMITATIONS OF LIFE describes the life of animals in conventional agriculture.
Based on transcriptions from field recordings of animal sounds: the dairy cows, lactating sows, fast-growing chickens, along with conversations with employees of the industry, four classical singers and a percussionist imitate the life and the noise at the farms and slaughterhouses. What starts as comic animal sounds slowly turn into heartbreaking squeals, peeps of warning, dissonances, synchronic cow-licks and sacral echoes.
IMITATIONS OF LIFE brings it’s listeners closer to the animals and opens new connections to the nature on which the economic system brutally profits.
