The titles Deep Fauna and Deep Flora allude to ways of looking at and listening more deeply to communities and forms of life as they might be ordered and expressed apart from humanity’s anthropocentric and exploitative purview. The titles are also metaphors for an aesthetic attitude that aims to skew prevailing genre conventions, mixing free improvisation and composition to develop an approach in which traditional musical elements are rendered not so much irrelevant as decoupled from their usual roles.
Deep Flora, however, departs more radically from Deep Fauna in its complete abandonment of harmonic material and formal convention with a set of spontaneous sound-gestures.
