The Edible Pet was created by Zoë Irvine and her son Logan, with contributions from family and friends in Edinburgh Scotland, Northern Ireland and South West France. It is a story that travels from pet keeping to dining table, taking in some back garden ethics, pet psychology, trans-species music making, dramatic mishaps, life, death and recipes. There are some scenes of a graphic nature, this programme may not be suitable for vegetarians.
Original music - Zoë Irvine & The Galloanserae Experimental Ensemble. The music you hear in the programme is derived from the calls and sounds of Jackie, Diamond and Tweed, the pets featured in the programme, transposed into musical notation. With the exception of these additional songs - Le Poulette Grise – Alan Mills; Ain’t Nobody Here but us Chickens – Louis Jordan.
Zoë Irvine is an artist primarily working with sound, exploring voice, recorded conversation and field recording. She seeks humour and playfulness in documentary making and enjoys bringing listeners into the making process. She also works as a sound designer, establishing Eggbox Audio, a sound studio which explores new models of working and is aimed at affordable sound for early career and independent filmmakers and radio producers. Zoë lives and works in Edinburgh Scotland.
