This is an excellent piece, a wonderful example of how to open up audio to different uses. I did have a lot of trouble listening with the high-pitched squeals. I significant hearing loss, so maybe others wouldn't be as bothered by it. Beyond that, this piece is very unique and an interesting artform -- both the cell music and the production of the piece.
This piece will surely be heard on a national show sometime, if it hasn't already. But it could fit on any station that wants to focus on news of the strange, or during a local science show. There is so much educational stuff out there in audio. There really should be an effort to put together a weekly show to be played in schools. Somehow we need to be able to deliver a show to schools so it's effortless for them to let the children here wonderful pieces like this. Something almost ethereal.
