On this one-of-a-kind record, Jim Nollman showcases his experiments with "interspecies communication." Using a variety of instruments and vocalizations, Nollman improvises with turkeys, wolves, and orcas. The interactions are sometimes funny, often surprising, and always fascinating. The liner notes include essays by Nollman on his environmental theories and experiences trying to communicate with animals.
