О Тебе радуется всякая тварь...

Замедленная запись хора кузнечиков (наложена на запись с обычной скоростью).

Эта запись вызвала даже (будто бы) научные дискуссии, как уверяют. Было бы интересно узнать подробнее -- с трудом верится в реальность такого хора.

PS Ну, и с матчастью не все ладно:


Bonnie Jo Hunt: ... Jim Wilson recorded crickets in his back yard, and he brought it into the studio and went ahead and lowered the pitch and lowered the pitch and lowered the pitch. And they sound exactly like a well-trained church choir to me. And not only that, but it sounded to me like they were singing in the eight-tone scale. And so what–they started low, and then there was something like I would call, in musical terms, an interlude; and then another chorus part; and then an interval and another chorus. They kept going higher and higher.

They were saying cricket words. I kept thinking, `Oh, I almost can understand them. It’s a nice, mellow tone. And they never went off pitch until one of the interludes, where they went real crazy and they got back on again to where they were. And I know that people do not know that they’re listening to crickets unless they’re told that that’s what that is.

Из каких именно слов певицы автор текста по ссылке заключает, что "it’s also accompanied by Bonnie Jo Hunt‘s beautiful, human singing"?

Я видел, что эта запись продается на CD, ну и что? Мало, что ли, подделок продается?
А то интервью почитайте внимательно полностью, с репликами интервьюера. Полагаю, он знал подноготную: http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2008/05/an_interview_with_tom_waits_by.html (http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2008/05/an_interview_with_tom_waits_by.html)
