The last work before leaving Orbitas; a farewell to the flora and fauna Fiona collaborated with and nutured during 4383 days of work in the restoration of Orbitas' formally razed land. The mis-en-scene is as recorded (unfiltered). The soundscape is diegetic (stereo live), unprocessed; a cachophony dominated by the very active ocean surf below and myriad insects, frogs, reptiles, birds and house geckos is totally diegetic. The scene is as experienced live.
