for Urban Intonation, I recorded rats at multiple sites in NYC with a custom ultrasonic microphone that I left in their burrows for 24-hour periods. I then pitch-shifted the result into the human auditory range and mixed it for multi-channel playback over a human public address system, repositioning rat vocalizations as something that is recognizable, if not intelligible, as (political) communication.
