Interview for NPR Weekend News Edition 🔥

Scott Simon is a bit of a US legend and I love the amount of care the @NPR team put into my story; selecting extracts of Moth x Human to illustrate what I was talking about.

Made it in print! What a delight to see this in the @guardian today.

Blown away by the interest in my little Moth x Human project. What an adventure these nocturnal creatures have led me on.

Moths are great but nice to have the opportunity to talk about the music a bit too with @TheStradMag

"percussive tapping on the body of the cello mimics the frantic flutter of a moth caught in a lampshade"

“It’s not survival of the cutest, it’s an accurate reflection of what happens in nature.”

They flutter in the dark – and now, they sing. Ellie Wilson’s ‘Moth X Human’ project uses real moth data to craft a poignant symphony of survival

"Composer and violinist Ellie Wilson’s haunting Moth x Human turned data about night-time moth activity into a beguiling synthesised fabric (“the moths are collaborating”) with which her small acoustic ensemble duetted"
