“This album was created during my stay in Šibenik from unpublished sound fragments of earlier recordings featuring Bernhard Wöstheinrich, Volker Lankow, Mathieu Sylvestre, and myself.

Track 1 contains the complete live mix; tracks 2–6 are individual pieces extracted from it.

The sequences were looped live; the only listeners were the cicadas in the adjacent garden. Different groups of cicadas synchronized their calling patterns, while others, just a few meters away, followed slightly different rhythms. The live set remained at a steady 91 bpm. Depending on the species, cicada calling patterns often range from two to four pulses per second.

This created brief moments of rhythmic synchrony between the individual cicada groups and the music before the rhythms drifted apart again. The day the album was released, the cicadas’ song had finally reached the intensity that characterizes the Dalmatian summer.”
