This piece was made originally as read-along audio for a handmade artist's book by Leah Giberson. The book is a sequence of mixed media collages based on photographs and video stills of her daughter's visit to a farm. The audio corresponds to the image sequence. It begins and ends with a 3 year old girl singing "Old MacDonald." The recording was made using a shotgun mic on the girl, which was mixed with binaural stereo recording of the ambient sound of the farm. We encounter a cow, chickens in a chicken house, a bug, some turkeys, piglets and an adult pig, sheep, horses, cows entering the barn and chewing cud, a cow being milked, and a dog playing fetch.

Review of Lili Day at the FarmUtterly charming. Requires and rewards both patience and attention. And when the cows finally do come home, answering the farmer's haunting call, the sounds of their hooves over the loose floorboards bring them out of the barn and straight into your living room. (note: this recording is binaural, so be sure to use headphones) |

Review of Lili Day at the FarmLili Day at the farm features such great lines as “Goodbye pigs,” “he’s got a curly tail,” “look at the mama cows,” and the excellent “baby cows don’t wear diapers. ”You take a walk around a farm with two year-old Lili as your tour guide, and you really feel like you’re there. It also sort of makes you feel like a kid, in much the way playing with a little kid will always do. It’s very good-natured and joyful and it would be really interesting to hear this alongside some other more conventional children’s programming, which isn’t to say this one isn’t for adults, too. |

Review of Lili Day at the Farm
King of lonely and nastolgic. But also very endearing. The listener is increasingly drawn in thoughout the piece although the layers of sound do not necessarily increase. There are a few silences and over all it's pretty quiet, but I've listened to the whole thing twice and I think I'll go for a third.
