music featuring non-human players. It’s a project of the Thai
Elephant Conservation Center, a government facility in which

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.
