◢◣
For many centuries, a deep appreciation of insect and animal song has been evident in African, Asian and South American cultures, especially in the Congo and The Amazon rainforests, where insect and amphibian musicians have long been celebrated as poets. By the sixteenth century, insect-sellers were commonly found in the outdoor markets of cities, and it became fashionable to keep singing crickets and katydids as pets, for the sheer aesthetic pleasure of hearing their songs through the winter months, long after they have become silent out-of-doors.
🦎
The finest singers were given endearing names that described their songs or habitats. Deep Medi 2, "Congo Amazonia", is a production that gathers insects and animals into a menagerie of lullabies and chimes with sampled bird songs, cricket chirps, tree frog groans, toad calls, granular synthesis, Native flute melodies and thumb piano plucks. Certainly, we perceive and enjoy the pulsing choruses of late summer and autumn, but aside from a few outstanding species (such as the Common True Katydid and the Spring and Fall Field Crickets), most of us seem perpetually confused about which insect is making which sound, and we have no established aesthetic that helps us enjoy the beauty and communicate our appreciation to others.
🦎
Human hearing covers a little more than nine octaves approximated by the following ranges in Hz: 30–60, 60–125, 125–250, 250–500, 500–1,000, 1,000–2,000, 2,000–4,000, 4,000–8,000, and 8,000–16,000 and higher. Most insect sounds occur in the upper two octaves of human hearing, primarily from around 4,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz. A young person with “normal” hearing will be aware of most of the insect singers in her or his surroundings. Unfortunately, high-pitched sensitivity gradually declines as we age, a phenomenon known as “presbycusis.”
🦎
"Deep Medi 2" serves as a page break, a bookend, the arid valley after the vertiginous peak, in a time when one wouldn’t have thought that stillness and listening could ground the gravity of the flat earth concept. In almost every assessment, this type of album might seem willfully exotic, mixing together themes that appear to be irrelevant to that of the laymen. Who cares about wineglass drones, symphonic strings, sitar and the sound a macaw makes when it’s hungry anyway?

Underdog does…
