Susan has taken these sounds and “pitched” them, meaning, she has turned sound clips into samples and manipulated them into a new piece of art. There are sounds of owls, coyotes, goats, meadowlarks and many more. Susan shares some insight on playing Bach for her baby goats, listening to nature sounds with deep focus, and she also shares some ideas for us all to listen to our own environment more intentionally.Īfter our short conversation, we are sharing Susan’s new work for cello and nature sounds. Susan lives in rural Kansas where she enjoys a variety of natural sounds along with her goats!
