SHARE THIS PLACE: STORIES AND OBSERVATIONS

In 2006 Portland Institute for Contemporary Art commissioned collaborators Lori Goldston and Kyle Hanson of Spectratone International to create an insect-inspired song cycle with K Records recording artist Mirah. Set to a suite of 12 short animated films by Britta Johnson, the resulting multi-media performance premiered at Seattle International Children's Festival in May 2007.

Influenced in part by the writings of 19th century French naturalist J. Henri Fabre (called "The Homer of Insects" by Victor Hugo), Share This Place also draws from Karel Capek's surrealist Insect Play and a host of other sources. Layered with the luxuriant sounds of Spectratone International, Mirah's beautifully delivered lyrics combine an epic scale and intimate tone.
