Thai Elephant Orchestra
This is, I believe, the first CD ever recorded of instrumental
music featuring non-human players. It’s a project of the Thai
Elephant Conservation Center, a government facility in which
domestic elephants are making the transition from forest
workers to interspecies ambassadors. In keeping with the
center’s exploration of human-elephant interaction, a set of
instruments were designed with the elephants’ particular
dexterity and strength in mind. The resulting music is uniquely
fascinating.
