Michaelene Gorney In technique and artistry, here the earth is sonically conceived, re-structured and realized, its facets uniquely revealed but also threaded together into an equally unique whole. A beautiful work.

about

Nina Dante + Bethany Younge’s Lizard Tongue is a conversation with the stones, with the air, with the branches of trees, with the living leaves, with the water, and with the songs of creatures reimagined through the human psyche. Created at the intersection of Dante and Younge’s practices as improvising performers and as composers, the duo uses their voices, entities from the natural world, and instruments made from clay and wood in an improvisatory flow state to invoke seven narrative sonic landscapes. The sound of stones, shells, living branches, tree bark, dry grasses, clay jaguar whistles, wooden flutes and jaw harps, as well as the singing, humming, whistling, growling and grunting of the performers’ voices embody psychically-charged landscapes from the depths of the churning earth to the aetheric heavens.
