This Cinnabar Moth is part of an installation, Voices from the Meadow, commissioned by Wakehurst (wild sister of Kew Gardens) for their Meadowland exhibition last year.

It has a slightly different feel to the usual recordings with Alice Boyd, composer and sound designer, providing the beautiful music and field sounds.

These interviews with meadow animals were heard coming out of the giant Gramophone designed by sculptor, Donnacha Cahill.

Many thanks to Eva Owen for making it happen and Steve Robinson for embodying the cinnabar moth.
