This is a work commissioned by the Adelaide Zoo and the Environmental Institute at Adelaide University as part of the inaugural Adelaide Water Forum, the theme of which was "water is life". The work is a recoding of multiple voices combined with sound-effects that form the backbone of a soundscape welcoming visitors as they visit the zoo. You can see the full text here, and an early version here. Now available in published form in Tadpoles in the Torrens from Wakefield Press.

Originally called "Measure (Meant (Measurement))". Text of a musical work written by Sam van Betuw for Cabinet of Oddities, premiered October 2015. Repeat performances at 2016 Melbourne Fringe. Program art by Kathleen Jennings.

From the bed he sighed, “I can't be bothred.
With monsters gargantuan,
