“I repeat: there was no attraction for me in imitating human beings; I imitated them because I needed a way out, and for no other reason.”

--Franz Kafka, A Report to an Academy

That is to say, that the anthropomorphizing lens through which we interrogate, if not attempt to problematize, the division between species (in the application of the 'bildungsroman' to the anonymous 'cricket' (One-Dimensional (or perhaps, zero-dimensional?) Insect? [cf. Marcuse])) is a two-way mirror, if not a fun-house mirror or sleight of mind. We apply attributes, which, unbeknownst to us, may in fact be the "subordinate" species imitating us (by leveraging domestication as evolutionary survival tactic (cf. Michael Pollan, Botany of Desire) or, simply for their own pleasure, out of sheer jest).

-- Isaac Linder

David Castillo on clarinet track 2 and track 8; bamboo xylophone track 4; and oboe track 7.
