Exotica: Fabricated Soundscapes in a Real World

Exotica takes a look at the music and people behind some of the world's most witty, experimental and adventurous sound recordings. Since the invention of the microphone, people have experimented with sound, putting everything from thunderstorms and dolphin sounds, medical operations, native jungle drums and junkyard trash down on vinyl. Notions of the exotic have inspired popular music and musicians in all fields from classical, through easy listening to rap — from Stravinsky to the Boo-Yah T.R.I.B.E
