This major selection of Revard's work lets you hear duets of humpbacked whales and wine-throated hummingbirds. You can walk on Skye, shoot craps in Las Vegas and see an ex-bank-robbing uncle get shot dead hijacking a shipment of bootleg whiskey. You can watch a swan become a soul, see glass fibers bring tomorrow from Japan, taste watermelons transubstantiating, and track vanilla honey to a beehive on top of L'Opera Garnier.
