Cicada Haunts by Shawn Edward Hansen

Starting one morning in late summer, this field recording collection documents the different moments of a full day of the Dog-day Cicada's song, Neotibicen canicularis, and ends with the following morning's chorus. Included in the recordings are background everyday human noises as well as the other insects and animals sharing this particular sonic space, especially crickets and song birds.

The cicada played an important role as a cyclical time stamp for the artist and featured on the album's artwork is a care package sent to the artist by his parents including a collection of cicadas and a recorded cassette of cicada song captured by the artist's mother, Wynne, in 2002.

Time continues to pass. Each cicada, once recorded, gone now, as those who record them make their own way back to the earth where they start the long underground trip again, hopeful to emerge with song once more.
