Pando Suite is a series of audio works exploring the hidden and interconnected sounds of the Pando aspen grove in south-central Utah. Known as the “trembling giant,” Pando is one of the world’s largest organisms, consisting of a sprawling forest of genetically identical trees, or “stems.” Sounds from the tree — from the trembling of its leaves to the low drone of its roots — are presented in mixed media at the Jack Straw New Media Gallery.

Some of the sounds in Pando Suite were recorded with support from the non-profit group Friends of Pando and through a commission from The New York Times Magazine. Woodworking and speaker fabrication for the exhibit are by Bob Huskey of Saturn Design.
