Ephemeropetra Vol.1 is the first in a proposed five volume series inspired by aquatic insects – their beauty and decline. Mayflies, Stoneflies, Dobsonflies, Caddisflies etc. – the first victims of chemical pollution – alien, forgotten, voiceless. The indistinct, the tiny, those that dwell under river stones, those that pass from this world barely imprinting themselves on human lore - their silent extinction an unnoticed monument to human ignorance. We dedicate this series to them.

The series takes its title from the taxon name for the order of Mayflies, the adult forms of which can live for as little as two days.

As the mountains melt to fill the river beds, as the river beds are swallowed by the sky, as documentation comes to an end, we cast these recordings into the flames.
