Kladon Stellaris has been cooking for many months now. It revolves around a field recording I took of my hand touching star-tipped cup lichen, a very important food source for caribou. This album contains 8 diverse compositions. I sincerely hope you enjoy these contemplative and poetic sounds, which point to our entanglement and interconnected reality with all beings, including our fungus friends. This album was made possible by the support of the Ontario Arts Council, through its music recording project grant. Thank you for listening. + Emilio Portal. field recordings, composition, production, mixing and mastering by emilio portal.
