Download includes a PDF containing cover and liner notes. "On the 6th of March 2020 Mira Calix performed what turned out to be her last concert before the world shut down, at Kings Place, London as part of a season called Nature Unwrapped. She presented an evening of her music composed and re-arranged for string quartet, voice, piano, and field recordings. Drawing on her seminal 2003 work nunu, originally composed for the London Sinfonietta and a gathering of live insects, the programme places this work in the context of her wider interdisciplinary practice, which incorporates sonic organic materials with classical instrumentation, dance, and visual elements."
