What are the ways one life entangles with another, especially lives so secluded they seem never to consciously cross? From a human vantage, most animal lives fall there. Bats—whose unknowable way of being Thomas Nagel fixed in his essay What is it like to be a bat?—are among the clearest figures of this divergence. Yet their lives quietly shape ours: from pollination and seed dispersal in the rainforest to the insect population control that makes summer evenings feel hushed.

Gorgomish, a Persian word for twilight, literally wolf and ewe, precisely names the moment when one animal becomes hard to tell from another—a threshold where things briefly stop seeming themselves. A small choir of vesperphones—idiosyncratic silicon creatures—is situated in a public park, listening for bat echolocation. What emerges is not the animal itself, but an entwined system of human, animal, and artificial life, briefly audible, held together by attention.
