A work by Petri Kuljuntausta & Dario Martinelli: ZOOSPHERE. A Musical Encryption of Animal Sounds (CD, 2008): “Zoosphere is an uncompromising work of experimentation, aimed to explore the richness and the potential of animal voices, with an approach that is by no means passive and contemplative, but rather inquisitive, intrusive and profoundly creative.”
