The Merry Monarchs: Part 2 (An Audio Tour for Butterflies)

The Wind

This episode is part of a two part series called The Merry Monarchs. Both are from Wind contributor Eleanor Qull.

In this episode of the Merry Monarchs, Eleanor makes an audio tour for the Monarch Butterflies, and to aid them on their migration, she constructs a series of objects and offerings. And it’s not just audio magic: she really created these offerings: butterfly-sized leather-bound books, kites, pendants and baskets…all types of really cool stuff. You can see photos of all of it at TheWind.org.

A huge thank you to Theo Rassmusen who provided all of the music in this episode. Theo is a good friend and excellent synth musician and you can his work at patterns.bandcamp.com

Thanks to Laurie Leonard of the River Fork Ranch, Dr. Chip Taylor: Founder and Director of Monarch Watch, and Storai Stanizai for speaking to us for this episode.
