Distant Animals is the artistic output of Daniel Alexander Hignell, a researcher and sound, video and performance artist from England. Drawing upon the works of La Monte Young, Morton Feldman, Eleh and Mauricio Kagel, this album employs a highly conceptual approach to its genre, incorporating the notion of the drone as both a compositional method, a spiritual approach, and a participatory tool for engaging its audience. Included is a pack of four postcards, documenting a land-art intervention undertaken during the creation of the score.
