Sound Wonders: A Series of Epics
is the second compilation from Touchtheplants, the imprint and multidisciplinary creative environment founded by
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith
and
Sean Hellfritsch
(aka
Cool Maritime
). Following 2020's
Breathing Instruments
(TTP 107LP), the new collection features sonic responses to a new prompt. Like its predecessor -- which explored music as an extension of the human body and the natural world -- the medium of focus here dates back to ancient civilizations. Smith invited artists to compose music based on the idea of epics: the long poems and narrative verse works that have detailed deeds and adventures since the dawn of storytelling. The musicians -- some of today's most exciting practitioners of experimental sound design, instrumentation, and synthesis -- took this directive loosely, realizing a series of vibrant and transportive songs evoking wondrous visions, subjects, and locales. From
Elori Saxl
's chamber piece to
Olive Ardizoni
's ode to the strange and beautiful phenomenon of starling murmurations with synth and xylophone tones the album splays out like chapters in a panoramic account of all that surrounds us. Features Elori Saxl,
