11 events happening between June and November investigate music for non-human beings
Curated by OTO Projects, Music and Other Living Creatures is a new series at Cafe OTO running on various dates between 23 June and 5 December. It's dedicated to “music about, with, or by other living creatures”. That's birds, tigers, chickens, insects and more explored through a variety of methods from sound-walks and commissioned performances to live responses and discussions.

With 11 events in total, full programme can be found on the the Cafe Oto website.
