Discreet & cozy as a proper English garden, these soothing strings turn the violent abundance of biology into a warm, friendly, & vaguely educational diorama. Composer Edward Williams specialized in TV documentaries for the BBC, and in his spare time he invented a laser beam that converts kinetic motion into midi (and so into sound).
